65 of our men filled the Hong Sing Restaurant on Wednesday Night to wrestle with the issue of consumerism.
We were challenged to rethink our attitude to the “stuff” we accumulate in life.
The remedies to wanting more and more “things” to somehow feel better and happier were:
- Contentment with what we have.
- Joy in Jesus.
- Generosity—giving to the poor and gospel work.
- Defining our worth through Jesus.
One idea was to have a week when each family would not spend a cent on any non-essential item.
