"Our culture, as John Kavanaugh observed, “fosters and sustains a functional trinitarian god of consumerism, hedonism, and nationalism. Made in the image and likeness of such a god, we are committed to lives of possessiveness, pleasure, and domination”;
Unless the church of the Lord Jesus creates a counter—current to the drift of materialism, self—indulgence, and nationalism, Christians will merely adapt to the secular environment in a tragic distortion of the gospel, in which the words of Jesus are reinterpreted to mean anything, everything, and nothing."
(Brennan Manning. The Signature Of Jesus)
