In this book, we will discuss ways in which the economics of the Kingdom of God can influence our worldly economy; how can we ensure the gospel of the Kingdom can permeate our earthly systems. Jesus said, “My Kingdom is not of this world.” The economics of the Kingdom are different from man’s economy.
This book is called, “The Flow,” because learning to live and work in God’s economy is like allowing yourself to be carried along by the flow of the Spirit, leading and guiding you through the economy of the world in which we live.
The economy of the kingdom of God is not a structure to be built, but a stream of God’s activity to be experienced. It is my prayer that you experience being carried along on streams of Living Water, which bring life into the world in which God has placed us.
I would like to get us going on a journey to understand the way God is thinking about economics … and new challenges require a new way of thinking. This book is designed, not to give ideas for a new economic system, because the economy of the Kingdom of God can never be captured by a system; it is more like a dynamic river, carrying us along on our journey; and God’s Word is a compass helping us to navigate the waters. Read on to find out how.
