Detox: Possessions
As U.S. residents, we are programmed from an early age to consume things. Marketers spend billions of dollars every year aimed at enticing children to buy goods (actually, to have their parents buy things!). By the time we are adults we are well conditioned buyers. We've been taught that there's nothing that we want that we can't and shouldn't have. We believe that its our right to purchase as much as we can. Inside of us, there's a gnawing need for relevancy and meaning and satisfaction and we believe that by having these things and using them until the next, newest thing comes out is what will give us meaning. We have to switch our minds and hearts away from being consumers, away from the toxic lies that poison our hearts about our belongings and the reasons why we want things. We want to detox from toxic materialism and move toward a healthy Kingdom consumerism.
Scripture References: Hebrews 13:5
