I wonder if this assumption of entitlement in society is a logical outcome of the continuing focus on the autonomous self?
I further wonder if the apparent popularity of some churches in Australian society arises from their endorsement of a paradigm of entitlement through the health and wealth message which they proclaim. (One possibly unkind friend compared some Pentacostal churches to populist politicians - namely that people respond favourably when they are told things which agree with and reinforce their world-view.)
ISTM that the message of the Gospel is anything but a message of entitlement. Right? Wrong?
