I do not trivialize earthly pursuits because the Qur'an teaches us that God
gave us the earth and everything in it so we can enjoy it. However, to enjoy
it thoroughly, man must  try to act in ways prescribed by God so that we can
be in harmony both with nature as well as our fellow man, but above all, we
must always remember him and worship him so we can enjoy success both in
this life and in the hereafter. Following his guidance in this World ensures
that we will not wrong anyone either.

I agree, but I still expect you or any other person relaying the word of God
to come with practical examples and relate the text to what is happening in
society.

As a matter of fact, all Imams, Priests or Rabbi should include burning
issues in their Khutbas/sermons regularly.
