David Chilton Quote
The unbiblical idea of spirituality is that the truly spiritual man is the person who is sort of non-physical, who doesn't get involved in earthly things, who doesn't work very much or think very hard, and who spends most of his time meditating about how he'd rather be in heaven. As long as he's on earth, though, he has one main duty in life: Get stepped on for Jesus. The spiritual man, in this view, is a wimp. A Loser. But at least he's a Good Loser.

About David Chilton
His book Productive Christians in an Age of Guilt-Manipulators: A Biblical Response to Ronald J. Sider (1981) was a response to Ronald J. Sider's best-selling book, Rich Christians in an Age of Hunger: A Biblical Study (1977), which promoted various programs of wealth redistribution by the government. Chilton argued that the Bible either does not authorize such programs or explicitly teaches against them.
His book Power in the Blood: A Christian Response to AIDS (1987) was primarily dealing with the Church's relationship with the world.
Julie Ingersoll notes that Chilton was the Reconstructionist specialist on postmillennialism, and that while Rousas Rushdoony was the "architect of the theological and philosophical system", Chilton was the "general contractor in charge of developing and popularizing postmillennialism."
