This is an interesting video to watch as we hear from Dr. Bob Flower make his observations on economics and philosophy. Although I don't personally desire to entangle my mind continually with both of these subjects (even as I do follow current events), I do like to maintain an awareness of what is going on and measure everything by God's word in all matters of this life that now is and that which is to come:
All scripture [is] given by inspiration of God, and [is] profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
---II TIMOTHY 3.16-17
Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.
---I CORINTHIANS 10.11
If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained.
But refuse profane and old wives' fables, and exercise thyself [rather] unto godliness.
For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.
---I TIMOTHY 4.6-8
Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
---COLOSSIANS 2.8
