If we focus on social justice or right-wing politics and just bring Jesus along, we will end up losing Christ (at least the Christ-centered life). If we focus on Christ, we will get social justice and those issues on the right that are valid. With Jesus = win/win.
I'm more concerned with "selling out" to leftwing politics. There is no concern for humanity there. They believe in killing unborn babies and kill them by the MILLIONS.
I greatly appreciate the argument and the illustration, but I do cringe just a little when "church success" or "health" (under any theology) is measured primarily in numbers , whether numbers of people or programs, numbers of any earthly attribute.
