What is
money? Is it the dollar bill in your pocket? Is it a check
from you checkbook? Pieces of plastic the size of a business card are
able to purchase goods and services, but are these credit cards
considered real money? Most of us if not all, would answer yes to the
above questions. However, some of our ancestors would have answered
quite differently. In fact a few of them got together some two hundred
years ago to debate what exactly constituted as real money and that
which did not. Many of us refer to this group of noble men as our
Founding Fathers.
The
definition of real money is easily found within our constitution.
It plainly states that "money" is to be in the form of
gold and silver coins. Strangely we do not use gold and silver as
money anymore. Why not? Did these metals all of a sudden lose their once
highly sought after luster? Did they became to cumbersome?
Possibly, man with his modern day wisdom, felt that our Founding Fathers
were old fashioned. Perhaps, the privilege of using and owning these
precious metals was taken away from us ever so slowly.
But who would want to take gold and silver out of circulation and more
importantly why?
For every
cause, their is an effect. Man will someday reap what he has
previously sown. Thankfully, a roadmap to financial prosperity was
given to us by the Lord. In the scriptures he admonishes us to adhere to
the principles of "just weights and measures." Unfortunately, man
has thrown the Lord's council to the wind. As a result of this ongoing
defiance, we are on the verge of reaping the negative consequences that
always follow.
Today's
monetary system is a far cry from being honest or fair. This book will explain
to you what these consequences are and how best to protect yourself
from the financial battles that lie ahead.
