The more I read of "Wild at Heart", the more convinced I become that we as men are so far removed from where God wants us to be. Where is the boldness of God in us? Where is the fire for righteousness and justice? And do we even know what righteousness and justice means in this world of insubstantial truths ?

For example - is it just or righteous to feed those who refuse to work out of the pockets of those who do work? Is it just or righteous for government to take our money that is earned and dispense it to those who chose to drop out of school or chose to have sex outside of marriage and ended up pregnant? I have absolutely no problem in providing for those who truly cannot work or who truly are in physical or mental conditions that prohibit them from making a living but I have a major problem with it being government's business. I suppose there are many Christians who would say that government is the best vehicle for that assistance but I would challenge that with a simple question: What government program is there currently existant that is run in a fair and equitable fashion and without huge costs and lack of direction? Name a single government program that works as advertised.

Ah, what's the use? There is way too little testosterone in the Christian community to right any of the wrongs in our society. I don't know why I think things will change.
