Inflation is the amount a fiat currency like the US dollar is worth over time as measured by purchasing power and versus “real money” such as silver and gold. For example, a Big Mac cost $1 in 1975 but costs $6 today. We would say the dollar is worth 6 times less today versus 1975. The US government and the Federal Reserve use a system of inflation measurement called “CPI” which stands for the Consumer Price Index. Other first world nations similarly have central banks and their government measures similarly.
It’s a problem, because people tend to receive their pay in dollars and put their savings in dollars. In fact, they measure life’s costs in dollars.
As believers in the one who saved us from death Jesus the Christ (Yeshua HaMashiach) and is Lord over all (Daniel 7:13-14) and provider of everything we need (Matt 6:33), we don’t want to fall into the trap that life is all about money. And as such, we have nothing to worry about no matter what happens to our nation’s fiat currency. For example, Germany in the 1930s, Argentina in the 1970s and again today. But no matter what, believers will always be provided for in life and in death.
The reason we are working on the Storehouse Vision, is it brings Christian living and Christian Community back into focus (people) instead of the modern monetary theory and associated systems (Banking, Wall Street, etc.) It is because if we build our house on the Rock (God’s Economy) instead of the sands of the world’s economies, which the Bible shows us will all come to nothing (plus we can’t take it with us beyond this life in the body).
