Feathers on the Breath of God

I believe that as individuals and as a church community we are called to recognize and resist the addiction to materialism from which our culture suffers. This should be making all of us feel a little uncomfortable. We’ve been taught to believe that we deserve comfort and freedom to choose the best, the latest, the biggest. We’ve been brainwashed to believe that we now need what used to be considered luxuries. Spoiler alert – we don’t need these things. We may want them, but we don’t need them. We need air to breathe, water to drink, clothing for our bodies and shelter to protect us.
