Title: “Faith, Foolishness, or Presumption: Navigating Practical Life”

Summary: In “Faith, Foolishness, or Presumption,” Apostle Frederick K.C. Price addresses critical aspects of practical living, drawing insights from biblical teachings. The central verse, Romans 13:8, emphasizes the significance of love in fulfilling the law. Some have misinterpreted this verse to discourage engagement with the “world’s system,” particularly regarding credit usage. However, Price challenges this perspective, highlighting the fallacy in avoiding necessary aspects of life.

He poses thought-provoking questions: “Do you put your money in banks?” and “Are schools, hospitals, and other institutions part of the world’s system?” By owning automobiles, flying on planes, using utilities, or purchasing homes, individuals inherently participate in the world’s system. Price further argues that if borrowing and owing are wrong, lending must be equally so. Yet, Jesus’ words in Matthew 5:42 encourage generosity and compassion.

Throughout the book, Apostle Price distinguishes genuine faith from foolishness and presumption, shedding light on practical wisdom for navigating life’s complexities.

Key Points:

• Love fulfills the law (Romans 13:8).
• Engaging with the world’s system is unavoidable.
• Borrowing and lending are not inherently wrong.
• Faith is distinct from foolishness and presumption.

“Faith, Foolishness, or Presumption” offers practical guidance for a balanced and purposeful life, grounded in love and wisdom.
