Is the church in Exile?

I finished a book a couple of months ago by Rob Bell titled, Jesus wants to save the Christians.  The whole point of the book seems to be why he thinks the church of today is in exile.  Through the first couple of chapters he talks about God's people in exile in Egypt and Babylon.  He then continues to say that many times in history the people of God have forgotten what exactly God wants from them in life.  He mentions many OT characters then goes onto say that he believes the church of today is not really doing what God has called them to do and how we think only of ourselves.  His preface reads this way... Down the street a church just built a new education building for 30 million dollars.  1 in 5 people in our city live in poverty.  The most interesting part of the book is the facts that he states...

* 1 billion people in the world do not have access to clean water.

* 1 billion people live on less than a dollar a day.

* The average teenager spends 150 dollars a week.

* 40% of people in the world don't have basic sanitation, while 49 million diapers are thrown away a day in America. 

* 1.6 billion people do not have electricity.

* 1 billion people cannot read nor write their name.

* By far most people in the world do not own a car, while one third of Americans have 3.

* 158 million children in the world work just to live. 

* America spends more annually on trash bags than nearly half of the world does on all goods.

Human history has never witnessed the abundance that we consider normal.  God bless America, God has...

So my question to you!  Is the church in exile?  Are we doing what God has called us to do?  Are we truly the hands and feet of Jesus to the world?  As people in the church what would God want us to do?  How should the church respond?  How do we live in world without giving into that world?
