I suggest we start with Acts, Chapter 4, verses 32 through 35. It has to do with ordering our economic system, and I've highlighted a bit that I think is particularly relevant:

32 Now the full number of those who believed were of one heart and soul, and no one said that any of the things that belonged to him was his own, but they had everything in common. 33 And with great power the apostles were giving their testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was upon them all. 34 There was not a needy person among them, for as many as were owners of lands or houses sold them and brought the proceeds of what was sold 35 and laid it at the apostles' feet, and it was distributed to each as any had need.


Can I get an "Amen!" Sister Sarah?
