The need is desperate

It is time to go into our wallets to help reach the world for Christ. Like those who pray, those who give are partners with those who go. Some can go. All can pray. All can give.

We law-abiding high-living consumers, satisfy our self-indulgent whims and appetites for comfort

or pleasure through clearly superior means--we buy ever-larger houses and fill them with ever-more goodies. "And

where is the harm in that?" we ask, not seeking or wanting an answer. We deny the obvious truth that there is always a

more Christian use for money that is spent self-indulgently. We even have the audacity to tell ourselves and others

that we "earn" or "deserve" the goodies that give us comfort and pleasure. We seem to have little difficulty divorcing

wealth, materialism, and self-indulgent consumption from serious contemplation of Christian morality. Randy Alcorn
