Consumer Religion
Great article on how consumerism has bled over into our faith.
Read the article and scripture this week on how to live a sacrificial life in Montgomery, AL .
Pray for our city, of course, but pray for those of us who are followers of Christ, that we will live a life of sacrifice and not consumerism
The world says BE A CONSUMER.
The Bible says LIVE A SACRIFICIAL LIFE.
“Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship” (Romans 12:1).
“And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased” (Hebrews 13:16).
"For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake, he is the one who will save it.Luke 9:24
When Jesus heard this, He said to him, "One thing you still lack; sell all that you possess and distribute it to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me."Luke 18:22
And all those who had believed were together and had all things in common; and they began selling their property and possessions and were sharing them with all, as anyone might have need.Acts 2:44-45
"Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. "He who loves his life loses it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it to life eternal. John 12:24-25
