Contemporary Christians have declared war on individual immorality but seem remarkably silent about the evil of systems, especially corporate greed and malfeasance. (p. 176)

About This Quote

Today, we live in a world of individualism. People tend to think of themselves as individuals and not as members of a group. They tend to resist joining or being part of a group. When we're faced with difficult issues such as war, corporate greed and corporate malfeasance, we're told to go it alone without the help of others.

That's not really an option. We can't fight our way out of these problems on our own. We need all the help we can get and we can't do it alone.
