Back to the original question about the lack of social justice, I
would assign a lot of the cause of that on the redefinition of
'abundant life' by Oral Roberts and the rest of the preachers who
have followed his lead. When I read of the promise of having life
more abundantly, I think of a rich spiritual life and connection to
God via Jesus. The abundant life of the current american church is
all about the material success of the family. Charity begins at
home and it is only proper that parents should provide for their
families. A lot of the reach for more luxuries is an overshooting
of that original goal. Today abundant life means that you should be
a landlord. Get the biggest mcmansion & the most lethal suv.
Thats how the devil whispers in your ears and before you know it
you are so fixated on money that you are worshipping mammon. I am
highly dubious about the sustainability of this lifestyle as we
move into a high energy cost future.
