God's Work In Progress- PARTNER WITH US!

Hello friends,

God's Work in Progress is an outreach of the Foundation for Excellence in Faith and Work. It's radio program, also called God's Work in Progress is the voice of the Work-Faith movement. Our vision is to transform the marketplace. We want to be a force for excellent work to Business, Government and Education and excellence in faith for all Christians working within it. By increasing positive influence on these three societal components, we make this fallen world system more effective and more Just. Our premise is this: Saving the world, begins with credibility. Credibility as a Christian is doing a GREAT job, and having a CLEAR demonstrated faith. These are the two outcomes we seek to create in people and organizations, we call it EXCELLENCE- in faith and work.

Righteous Free Enterprise VS. Capitalism

Let me be succinct about the difference here. Capitalism is about the creation of wealth. Wealth may very well be the outcome of Righteous Free Enterprise although it need not be. Wealth as you'll recall from my post- "What is the Purpose of Money?", is stored economic power, and the main purpose of power is "empowerment". In that context, wealth has a purpose. So while Capitalism is the creation of wealth, when wealth exists or is created for it's own sake it violates another tenet of RFP, which is: each person should act in their own best (highest possible) interest. Hoarding wealth, or the creation of it for its own sake, falls very far short of acting in your highest possible interest. If we think about our BEST interest we logical think beyond just our own interest.


There is a great misunderstanding regarding the difference between the "intended" Righteous Free Enterprise and the "man-made" Capitalism. They are by no means synonymous.
