Bring Back Em
According to a recent Newsweel
article, the excessive greed anc
avarice which so characterized the
decade of the 1980s is over.
Gone are the young monej
changers whose inside trading made
fortunes overnight. Gone are the
days of the oil boom making Texas z
center of population, power and in
fluence. Gone are the TV preacher!
with their Kold-nlated bathroom fix
tures and air-conditioned dog house
Gone is the "you can have it all'
_!_!? * fit
piuiosopny oi me yuppies.
Newsweek's article seemed to suggest
that greed has suddenly gone oul
of vogue Hurray!
What an epitaph for a decade! Our
greed caught up with us. How could
our society have gotten so off-base?
Greed suggests having more than
one needs or can possibly use. Why
wasn't there a challenge to this
ethical mongrel? When Ivan Boesky
wrote in 1985, "Greed is not a bad
thing."
Surely, we who are Christians
know better. Greed and avarice are
one of the classical seven deadly sins,
Yet, for what remains a mystery, we
have watched the gap widen between
the wealthy and the poor in America.
The Church has not screamed bloody
murder, and there has been no public
outcry from the Christian community
as the yuppie philosophy swept the
country. This sophisticated, more
grown-up philosophy of the "me"
generation s creed snouia nave been
vigorously challenged years ago.
From its birth, this generation has
believed "I deserve it all." This coincide
with the decline of the pthirQ anH
value system which produced the
Peace Corps and VISTA. In a word
play on the popular phrase from the
Kennedy inauguration speech, as
children the yuppie began asking not
"What can I do for my country?" but
rather "What can my parents,
teachers and country do for me?"
After college, during job interviews.
they asked, "What can your
company do for me if I go to work for
it?" Fast money and excessive luxury
became the brass ring for the
young professional. It is not surprising
that in such an atmosphere
anything approximating Christian
ethics collapsed.
The Church needs to take the offensive
in matters of ethics. Surely the
teachings of Christ call into question
any notion of avarice and greed, no
matter now carefully packaged. The
story of the rich man who built extra
barns?on the day of his eternal accountability?is
just on example. The

How has such a plight come about?
Has the church become so intimidated
by the culture and so
enamored by its glitzy ways that it
refuses to challenge such sinful notions
as greed? It would seem so.
That's why the church of the '90s
needs to assume its responsibility to
teach and promote true Christian
ethics and hopefully prevent any
recurrence of the ethical disaster of
the '80s.
