Forget about Bojo and even Trump. They are dangerous froth. Dangerous because they are Tory autocratic and Plutocratic opponents of democracy. They need to be defeated democratically in elections, resoundingly, opposed fully by Christians. The real test is structural. It is to dismantle the control of big money over world economic policy. Here, the old Left is useless and discredited. In China, Russia and elsewhere the Old Communist Left finishes up with greedy autocrats who govern by intimidation. Liberalism – you can do what you want – is a big bit of the Western problem and controlled by big money. It is causing us to fail. The capitalists are in charge, accelerating to destruction. There is a vacuum of truthfulness for the world. That is why we are in chaos, made worse by Covid.

There are five main world problems. 1 GLOBAL WARMING acute; Capitalist control prevents it being addressed. 2. WORLD MILITARISM – funding weapons, fighters and war destroys economies and wastes on a vast scale, but the military keep capitalists safe. 3. POVERTY – in poor and rich countries several billion will struggle to live and are nearly slaves in crisis world economy. 4. LIVING – many people’s lives are destroyed by wealth, consumerism, antagonism, mass media and sin. 5. Persons – billions are lost, controlled by consumer “needs”, selfishness, social isolation and political control.

Christians can see how their faith addresses 4 and 5, but for a variety of reasons they have given up on responding to the first three problems. We need to recover the whole counsel of God. God calls us to meek living, uncontrolled by consumption, small in footprint. Jesus is clear about it. Christian peace easily addresses the silly destructive waste of militarism. We can all disarm and be far better off loving the enemies the militarists have been busy creating. Finally, rich Christians have compromised, but the Christian faith insists on redistribution, the poor inheriting the earth and the deconstruction of empire, might and economic power. Jesus shows us how to live by losing our selfish lives.

The Christian Good News addresses all five world problems structurally. Nothing else will. Christianity does it for all, for the survival of this wonderful God-given planet. Head-down Christians have got to look up, two billion plus around the world, thinking and acting together. They have got to see the big picture, the full structure of their faith – against no-one and forming the world in love. Stop, you who are inside your little Christian enterprises, and think how God loves the whole world. You will need to see Big Picture Christianity anew.
