The vice responsible for every immoral, unethical, and illegal financial scheme—whether fractional-reserve banking, Ponzi schemes, stock trading, or crypto lending—is usury driven by greed.
Advent is the season where God puts John in front of you and says, “Listen to him. Learn from him.” Not because John is the Savior, but because John knows he isn’t. He prepares the way by preaching repentance and by baptizing sinners. He shows the church how to live in the in-between time: hear preaching, receive baptism, repent.

Imagine having a monthly budget you overspend by 25% on average. Imagine you had a family emergency that added another 25%. Imagine that you forgot to stop paying for the emergency. Imagine you kept at it month over month, doing nothing and changing nothing. Imagine that you think this is a good time to spend even more on a big home remodeling. And then imagine you thought there would be no consequences because of your magical economic theory.
Imagine.
Christ does not come to stir your emotions or decorate your December. He comes to forgive your sins. He comes to cleanse your conscience. He comes to break your death and give you His life. He comes into your mouth, into your body, into your grave-bound flesh. #biblestr
