Stuff

Sara is having a garage sale today. In preparing for it we were frustrated by all the "stuff" we had....and how to simplify. And then this also came today at inward/outward!

Though many of us are well intentioned, we have invested our lives in consumerism. We have a love affair with ‘more’—and we will never have enough. Consumerism is not simply a marketing strategy. It has become a demonic spiritual force among us, and the theological question facing us is whether the Gospel has the power to help us withstand it.
