James Robison Recruits Southern Baptist Leader for His Economic Efforts
On the program Robison interviewed Hawkins regarding the new book written and promoted by the Guidestone head. The name of the book is Joshua Code. Robison's take on the work is that it encourages Christians to help others and not expect the government to do so. James rehashed his view with Hawkins that Pharaoh's assistance is not biblical. This is his idea that Pharaoh was wrong by listening to Joseph and stockpiling food for the coming drought. Individuals and the people of God were to do this, not Pharaoh. This interpretation by James plays along with the Christian Reconstruction playbook that government is not to assist the needy. By connection with the resources of Guidestone and its leverage with Baptist churches this idea regarding government assistance has potential to reach millions. It is strange that ministers who depend upon Social Security to supplement their own retirements would buy into such an economic system. Robison wrote in his book, Indivisible; "I opted out of Social security when I was eighteen years old, because I thought it was socialistic." Pg. 85
