From the book, Thy Will Be Done: When All Nations Call God Blessed, published by Nordskog. For me, the spectrum idea originated with Paul Jehle.
| FALSE HOLINESS | CHRISTIAN STEWARDSHIP | FALSE SECURITY |
| Gain Is Godliness: Salvation equated with material gain; becomes greed; selfishness rules | Godliness with Contentment Is Great Gain: Christianity is a labor of love with blessings following | Love of Money: Ambitious lust for power & gain for security at others’ expense |
| Poverty Is Godliness: False humility; excuse for laziness | Wealth is Stewardship Even small wealth received thankfully & used righteously | Hate of Money: Accept slavery for security out of laziness & fear of failure |
| Result in: | ||
| Ineffective Christianity Christian salt becomes rubble (Gk: moraino); the world system hinders Christian work | Godly Stewardship Trust God to provide; work, give & receive without taking; God brings good fruit | Tyranny, Slavery, and Debasement Collectivism is the rule; debased, I either tyrannize or slavishly submit; I take what I can get |
