Why Does the Church Seem Obsessed With Sexuality But Quiet On Greed, Power, and Violence

Mar 15, 2026    Christopher Spolar

This powerful exploration tackles one of the most pressing critiques of modern Christianity: why does the church appear obsessed with sexuality while seemingly silent on greed, power, and violence? Through Matthew 23, we discover that Jesus himself asked similar questions of the religious leaders of his day. His harshest words weren't for sinners or outsiders, but for those who carried spiritual authority yet neglected the weightier matters of justice, mercy, and faithfulness while obsessing over minor details. Yet Jesus doesn't offer us an either-or proposition. He calls us to holistic holiness, not selective righteousness.
