Secular culture needs a counterpart that keeps it spiritually focused.
Christian churches have always been the alternative for those spurned by secular culture but there has always been a divide separating Christian churches from secular culture.
Christian church strategy has been to maintain their operations through donation with limited engagement with enterprises.
Truly, Christian churches are also enterprises surviving from the largess of secular culture with a hierarchical structure with its definition of elite and common members of the enterprise.
American Christian churches see themselves as separate local entities competing for members and their slice of the economic bounty with a somewhat distant connection to their national union.
In current years, there is enhanced sense of tribalism across all sectors of American society whether secular or religious.
If the American secular trend is to fracture into pieces of itself, then there must be a counter force to bring the pieces back together.
It would be tragic if we must rely on a dictator to do this because so many undeservedly will suffer.
Christian churches can be that counterforce if the churches remove their dependencies on secular culture's bounty.
Become less dependent on donations by becoming an enterprise of wealth creation.
That means transforming church members from secular culture victims to secular culture competitors.
Not describing an instantaneous transformation.
It means making spiritual understanding a direct competitor to the secular 'survival of the fittest' notion.
That is, developing a range of mentoring of enterprise skills superior to 'hard knocks' capitalism.
In truth, 'hard knocks' capitalism taps deceit and misinformation to attain many successes.
A counter force to deceit and misinformation changes the face of capitalism.
Total wealth shrinks as the bulk of it falls into a smaller and smaller portion of a population because more of it is prevented from creating new wealth to be distributed to the population.
An increasingly larger part of the wealth is dedicated to a tiny population's lifestyle.
The secular culture requires counterforce to reverse such trends.
The larger the size of the American middle-class, the smaller the bottom and top of the population.
Shrinking the size of super wealthy population increases the size of the just wealthy population.
Returning super wealthy wealth to an increasing wealthy population and middle-class population provides the means to shrink the size of the bottom population.
Then there would be plenty of wealth available for American Christian churches.
