Proof of Work - A Biblical Survey of Money

This message unpacks a biblical view of taxation by examining key Scriptures on government authority and money. Using passages from Matthew, Romans, and 1 Peter, Simon Pranaitis examines how Christians should respond to unjust taxes while maintaining submission for the sake of conscience. The biblical view of taxation reveals God’s design for limited governmental authority and reminds believers to steward money as God’s property. This biblical view of taxation challenges both the heart and habit.
