What does the Church have to say about saving/spending?

I won't be blogging much the first half of this week...much to be done on my thesis + I plan to blog frequently at week's end about the Ryan Adams & the Cardinals concert and the True/False Film Festival. I did want to share an article which absolutely expresses my heart when it comes to Christian engagement with the economy. Good stuff from Collin Hansen at Christianity Today whose work is always solid. Here's just one passage of many which stood out:

When what's good for Americans is bad for the economy, then you know something is wrong. This is the church's opportunity to help our neighbors and reform our own behavior. We can model for our neighbors a lifestyle that shows more isn't always better. We can respond in faith to this latest crisis, displaying trust in the God who fortifies us against the stock market's ups and downs. We can follow the example of the Acts church, whose members with financial means cared for those less fortunate.
