Putting God’s interests first makes it so that an individual has the free agency to do as much good as he wants. He has the free agency to align himself with a group of other individuals that also hold the same values and voluntarily contribute to it. And God will hold him responsible for what he does with his free agency.

You may have heard the notion that in America, we can have equal opportunities, but that does not guarantee equal outcomes. That notion is what Scripture drives at - each person is a free agent under God who can either make wise choices and prosper or make foolish choices and end up with regrets- the wisest choice of all being to receive the books assertions.

The danger of this is that while these systems often begin with the distribution of wealth in mind (in the name of income inequality), this ideology grows like a cancer into the realm of ideas. Eventually (or concurrently), ideas simply become another currency to be controlled for the sake of the group. And you’re in big trouble if the group ever wants you to stop talking.

To one who suppresses the innate knowledge of God’s truth on the conscience, wrong begins to look right, and right begins to look wrong. And they have no idea it’s happening to them. They become completely convinced that all they stand for is justifiable and fundamental to a cause they now view as righteous.
