Palmer,I think you are on to something here that points to the very core of our being. Protesting, fighting the man, pointing out the flaws in our society in order to show just how better we really are. The church originally had no power save that of Jesus our King and what a power they had. They didn't bother themselves with what was specifically wrong with the current times (their times were much harder than ours) they were concentrating on Father and surviving persecution. So what's my point? What do our brothers and sisters in India do with their off times from being chased by murderers? What cause do you think we should be fighting? Walmart, the big man, or perhaps we should be concentrating our efforts on freeing our far away families? And what about those who are starving in Africa? The AIDS patients who die a painful death being rejected by all? Our current Christian culture has it all wrong. We are distracted by many things. Many churches have massive budgets that could feed 10 towns in Africa for many years. We are concentrated on what can we do with our tithing money in order that we can be the most comfortable.I'd say you ought to buy what you can afford in order to feed as many people at your house that you can. Where you buy is the same as praying to Jesus to help you decide where to buy lunch – McDonald's or Burger King. Jesus ate all the time with people and I think we should do the same. There is something beautiful about sharing a meal with friends/family and filthy strangers.
