Comments and Questions on Christmas and Consumerism Message...12.08.07

Make sure you check out the links (to the right) for more information on this topic!
Some Questions to Wrestle With:
Have I ever had an honest sit-down conversation with my family about the true meaning of Christmas? If not, why not?
What specific things have I seen in culture around me that are symptoms of consumerism or greed? What symptoms do I see in my own life? Do I see symptoms of the sickness in my kids?
Am I willing to “own up” to the fact that the illness of consumerism might be living within me? What am I going to do about it?
What am I going to do about all of the opportunities in the lobby and the Horizon International Gift Catalog today? Will I slow down and investigate? Am I willing to “give up” one of my Christmas gifts in order to give to someone else?
Am I “on guard” against “all kinds of greed” in my life? What do I do with these words of Jesus?

A Question
Some questions to wrestle with might be: Do the existing “bricks” in my life know what they’ve meant to me? Who has built into my life that I need to encourage this week (perhaps by email, or a note, or a phone call)?
Or, perhaps, you could use this site as a "public forum" to encourage them. [Please keep in mind this is a very public arena. And let's make sure our comments are actually encouraging :). ]

Seriously. What existing relationships do I have that God is calling my to take deeper? What action steps am I willing to take to begin to accomplish that goal this week?
