Sounds like just another attempt at trying to use Christianity to support forced charity through government actions.

Christianity has always been solely about the relationship between God and man, not between God, Man, and the government.

God knew that if the heart of man was saved and regenerated, all the rest would naturally follow.

However, if you let unsaved and unregenerated men attempt to do the same thing through the force of government, it will fail every time.

It sure is, you’ve got that right.

It’s another Sojourners-type Jim Wallis Christian Marxist book.

Rick Warren talks about how wrong Christian Marxism is but he sure does plenty to promote it.

You got it right. From the article:

“Poverty and injustice are two of the biggest issues of our day, challenging the minds of politicians and social activists around the world.

If Christinity IS about government funded charity then our nation’s separation of church and state absolutely forbids this role for government.

If you do not subscribe to their brand of so call Christianity, you should not be required to fund their agenda.
