Synopsis

Power, prosperity, and pleasure are generally considered the American Dream, but too much materialism can lead to a culture where hearts turn inward and individuals become more concerned for self rather than others. We have this situation in our country today. Materialism has replaced spirituality. The problem is not confined to the United States. For example world-wide denominations are dealing with major schisms as church bodies in prosperous regions seek to change established doctrine that are barriers to what their people want.

A spiritual culture provides established principles and beliefs that provide a solid foundation. A material culture emphasizes people’s current wants and desires. Trivia and feeling become the focus of decision leading to nano-values that do not satisfy. This leads to addiction.

The answers to addiction are well known today and are found in various “12-step” programs. The programs emphasize that head-knowledge is not enough. Hearts must be changed through repentance, commitment to a higher power, and a system of accountability.

On Fire for God II provides practical background information and a Leader’s Manual for launching groups patterned after “12-step” programs and Class Meetings John Wesley used 250 years ago. His church “had drifted into a trifling worldliness.” The Class Meetings “turned out to be the primary means of bringing millions of England’s most desperate people into the liberating discipline of Christian faith.” (Quotes from John Wesley’s Class Meetings
