Before Advent season gets rolling just around the corner on November 27th (Advent traditionally begins four Lordsdays before Christmas day), I wanted to strongly encourage any of you reading this blog -- especially if you're a USAer Christian -- to listen to a sermon by Tim Keller, pastor at Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City, entitled "Treasure vs. Money" that he gave in May 1999.
My hope is that it'll cause you to pause, as it did me, and consider Christ and His commands to you concerning your wealth. My wife and I have listened to it this week and I plan on having us listen once more next week right before the World demands that we all begin living amorally and mindlessly in shopping frenzy and/or the present orgy mode, i.e. the "Holidays".
Rather, this Advent season, let us as Christians re-form our families by the Spirit and "put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires." (Romans 13:14)
