“We understand that every effort, whether personal or corporate, that leaves out the Savior of the world, Jesus Christ, that doesn’t make God central to the need, is no solution but just lipstick on a pig. Whether it be education, or science, or psychology, or any kind of social planning pursued that is without the redeeming and regulatory touch of a benevolent and gracious God, it is nothing but lipstick on a pig. Socialism is a system that denies God’s authority and ownership of all things. It reduces us from being stewards of what God has graciously given to making us slaves of the state. It promises cultural salvation, but delivers a dull, drab, gray world of grim existence. It’s just lipstick on a pig.”
