Many people profess faith, but conduct their daily
lives as if the Almighty Dollar was the only thing that
mattered. Some preachers encourage that view: “Jesus
came to save you from sin and give you the goodies of
life.” Some public figures go so far as to condemn any
notion of social justice: “I've got mine, too bad for
you; God wants you to go get your own.” Ignoring the
poor, whether out of the blindness that comes from greed
or from some ideological dogma about self-reliance, does
not address the problem of poverty or the need for
Christians to reach out to the needy.
