Yes, Christianity is perfectly compatible with wealth and power. Sure it is.
Sigh.
Thanks for posting the link.
i read part of it but not all of it. what's the rub here - christians that are making 6 figures or the ivy league thing. i probably should have read it in its entirety. can you provide a summation?
You're probably asking churchgal, not me, but to my thinking the "rub" is in the idea that Christianity and elite power structures are compatible.
exactly. i'm not saying christians shouldn't go to top schools - no. (i'm from the pac 10 and the big 10, so i like my creds.)
but if you read the article and see its pitch toward wealth, class, christianity and the way no one asks if this goal to consolidate earthly christian influence through the halls of power, prestige and elitism is appropriate or 'christian' in itself, then you gotta wonder 'huh'?
i mean, why didn't the reporter ask someone to explain the parable of the rich man and the eye of the needle? that would have complicated things.
a word to journalists going to speak with religious folk: know your bible, people.
