Oikonomics Quotes

“No amount of money or ideas can replace the value of being physically present, giving time and attention to people or projects.”
― Mike Breen, Oikonomics

“Jesus told his disciples that if they leveraged everything to seek the kingdom by following him, everything else would be thrown in as well! In other words, the secret to living the good life, to having it all, is seeking God’s kingdom above everything else and becoming an apprentice of Jesus.”

“So what’s the problem with prosperity theology? The problem is when it equates financial capital with spiritual capital, assuming that our financial abundance is an accurate way of measuring our spiritual abundance. It’s easy to fall into this trap, because financial capital is the most measurable and concrete kind of capital (because people have been measuring it longer than the others). Prosperity theologians tend to treat financial capital as the same thing as spiritual capital, and so they serve Money as God. This ultimately causes their theology as a whole to be unbalanced and unhelpful.”
