My son Tom is not yet a Christian.
He provoked me recently by saying that he felt that we Christians are living lives of what he called ‘delusional necessity’.
He claimed that we have convinced ourselves that all the creation-damaging activities we do each day are necessary or inescapable and hence acceptable. We think that our low-cost holiday flights, overheated homes, cheap food, two or even three cars and all the other trappings of a consumer-focused 21st-century society are necessary for a fulfilled Christian life. Thanks for saying this, Tom. I believe you’re right. And here’s why.
