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?
