The great economic problems of the world are at root sin problems. Socialists and other coercive redistributionists who wish to use the arm of the state to commit legalized theft, or, on the other hand, materialistic capitalists who deny God's holy redistributionist plan tithes and offerings and who refuse to voluntarily help their poor brethren as the Bible demands are both sinners . Likewise, the sexual problems in the world are at root sin problems. Men refuse to assume their proper leadership role in the family, church, and elsewhere and forfeit their responsi bility to women. Many men, on the other hand, abuse and otherwise mistreat women, and refuse to cherish their wives and protect and assist other women.
Racial problems are moreover sin problems.
Racial pride in lineage or skin color is a particularly repellant sin. If they were to abandon their evil racism, they would be forced to reckon with the evil of their own hearts. Everything is wrong, A. W. Tozer once said, until God sets it right. He put it right supremely by Christ's atoning death and glorious resurrection and ascension. This is the only way the basic antithesis between men can be overcome.
