1977 still relevant today

From Rich Christians in an Age of Hunger, by Ronald Sider.

“ In an Age of Hunger most Christians (regardless of theological labels) will be severely tempted to succumb to the liberal heresy of the following current cultural and societal values rather than biblical truth. Society will offer demonically convincing justification for enjoying our affluence and forgetting about a billion hungry neighbors.
        But if the Christ of Scripture is our Lord, then we will refuse to be squeezed into the mold of our affluent, sinful culture. In an Age of Hunger Christians of necessity must be radical nonconformists. But nonconformity is painful. Only if we are thoroughly grounded in the scriptural view of possessions, wealth and poverty will we be capable of living an obedient lifestyle. ”
