My2centz,

If God tells you to do something one way, why would you insist on doing differently? God has a word for that: disobedience. Jesus never told us to tackle the ills of society, so why do you imagine that is what He wants you to be doing, or supporting? That's disobedience, whether you are doing it or endorsing it.

Jesus modeled one-to-one ministry in the power of the Holy Spirit because there is so much we can do to relieve the suffering of individuals. It is only after we have learned to minister one-to-one in the power of the Holy Spirit does God give us more power and greater tasks.  So trying to solve societal ills, whether real or perceived, before you have that experience is a fool's race to failure because you will be disobeying God and doing it without His power.
