To me it was a crass display of power and control that was totally Christ-less. Who gives a rat's behind if it's "god's economy" or "the economy of God"? There is a group-think and the comradery of suffering under a hard master that helps men form groups of loyalty...but it's not Christ or Christ's way.
I believe with most 17 and 18 year olds who choose to enlist in the armed forces to expect many lessons in perfecting throughout basic training.
However, in our lives among fellow Christians, it is unexpected.
God's Economy or The Economy of God, most brothers I've heard use God's Economy. What's the point since the reference is to God's administration.
