I met a neat guy this week, David Slagle. He wrote an interesting post about what he calls Karma Kristianity or “My Name is Earl” faith. Here are two excerpts (he is talking about the “bless others and get instantly blessed” teaching within many churches in the first one):

…This almost never happens, but church people would have us believe it happens a lot – that this is the norm – even a principle. I have a name for this “principle”: Karma Kristianity. Do good to others and you’ll see an immediate reward that compensates and typically goes beyond what you have done. It’s a “My Name is Earl” faith.

This is the paradox of God. He will not be treated as a slot machine. I cannot put my quarter in and expect a goody to fall out. God will never be my indentured servant. He will never be in debt to me. He owes me nothing.
