Subject: The Good Ol' USA
We live in the richest and poorest country. Consumerism is the name of the game and if your not on board with that,something must be wrong with you. The problem is when the satisfaction with "things" wears off you must buy more to get that feeling. Like any addiction, it grows with a mind of it's own.
It is a problem that has seeped into our churches as well. A bigger building, brighter marque, and don't forget powerful pyrotechnics to really get the gospel effect.
I am not immune to this plague. It is so easy to look at others and see their happiness (usually a facade) and think, "If only ....". I get disgusted and discouraged by myself and lack of reliance on God to be my wholeness.
Oh how refreshing it is to be a part of a community that is striving to stay away from that "American" mindset. Thank you village people for reminding me what is truly precious and fullfilling. |
