There is actually truth in your underlying criticism. Christians have blown it. God gave this great county with unlimited resources and unprecedented freedom to Christians (and I am NOT just talking about white male Europeans).

We were unfaithful with the gift. We did not give like we should have. We did not love our neighbor as ourselves (the second most import Commandment according to Jesus). We did not treat the poor like we would have treated Jesus as we were instructed.

Consequently, it is being taken away. I believe the burgeoning welfare state is a judgment and a rebuke to Christians. We shouldn’t look at the government with anger but with shame.

In so many ways it really is better to give than receive. Now that privilege has been taken away from us for a third to a half of what we earn. Maybe if we treat what’s left to us more faithfully we will gain control of some of that back.
