Reading I Timothy 6:6-10 this morning on "Black Friday" as well as seeing this article by Mrs. Perkins reminded me of how important it is to be "countercultural" in a stuff-saturated America. Sometimes it is sad to see even " Christian" bookstores peddling reams and reams of material, a lot of which merely repeats the obvious. Sure, some Christian media products are actually useful, but the degree of congruence in the marketing methods of the 'Christian" media and non-Christian media gives one cause for pause. In seeking to engage the world we end up becoming like that which we ought to be transforming through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Ms Perkins has hit the right buttons... it's NOT only on Black Friday that we should buy 'nothing' unless its needed but keep in mind what Paul wrote to Timothy: " But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that." (I Tim 6:8)
