Most of the itme, I feel powerless to effect real change. A good book on this subject is "Colossians Remixed" by Brian Walsh and Sylvia Keesmat. Although the book is very liberal politically, it treats these issues very well, and really makes you question alot about our materialistic, consumer-driven culture. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0830827382/102-0067916-6632153?v=glance&n=283155 Oh man, these questions haunt me all the time.

When there is a large group of people who believe, more or less, the same thing, how do you define different? And when a whole body begins to veer from the path, how does one correct the line of travel? The old testement is full of descriptions of that very thing, and is also full of how the body is corrected by God and set on the path again. We do not need to turn 180 degrees to be going the wrong way...One degree off of true will get us just as lost. What is interesting is that, for a people so concerned with synchrotism, evangelical christians have erred just as badly.
