Be sure of this: it will not stop with the air conditioning of hell.

Finally, this current economic crisis just might help Christians to focus on another issue — retirement.  Where in the Bible are we told to aspire to years and decades of leisure without labor?  There is nothing wrong with saving for what the world calls retirement.  Indeed, that is just good stewardship.  Furthermore, there is nothing wrong with workers enjoying the fruit of their labor.  But Christians should think of retirement as an opportunity to be redeployed for Kingdom service. Today’s crisis in the financial system should not be a threat to the long-term health and vitality of our economic system.  There is cause for concern, but no justification for panic.  Rather than hit the panic button, spend that energy thinking about how Christians should glorify God in our economic lives.  We should watch the developments and debates in Washington and New York with interest, but we should investigate our own hearts with even greater urgency.” - Al Mohler
