I have to admit that the attempt to take Godly notions and place them in the political sphere has been an absolute boon for socialism. Social justice has been used and abused both as a term and as a movement within just about any church I could name here in Australia. It’s strange but the more churches seem to concentrate on social issues the less they tend to bother about the state of people’s souls and after all what is more important the eternal or temporal.

Boy, that’s the truth!
The Lord is about both . . . though the eternal is by far the priority.
