Materialism

Hey all-

Tomorrow morning I will be speaking at Delaware County Christian School in the Middle School Chapel on the theme of Materialism. In the talk I will be using Colossians 2:8 and Matthew 6:19-24 to express God's thoughts on storing stuff up on earth. I will also be giving the middle schoolers 5 challenges:

1. STOP watching the CW and MTV (any shows that encourage materialist culture)

2. Go on a buying fast (just stop)

3. Set price limits and stick to them! "I will only spend $X on (fill in the blank)"

4. Give to the Church/Missions what you would regularly spend on "stuff"

5. Fill the time with something productive. Instead of shopping, going to the mall, watching those shows, learn something new; how to sew, a spiritual discipline, about your mom.

Please pray that the students take this seriously.

THANKS!
