Last week we learned to Worship Fully. This week we will Spend Less. What was the one gift you remember getting for Christmas last year? Next question: What about the fourth gift? Do you remember that one? Truth is many of us don’t because it wasn’t something we necessarily wanted or needed. Spending Less isn’t a call to stop giving gifts; it’s a call to stop spending money on gifts we won’t remember in less than a year. America spends around $600 billion dollars during the Christmas season, and much of that it joyless and goes right onto a credit card. By spending wisely on gifts we free ourselves from the anxiety associated with debt so we can take in the season with a full heart. Join us for Advent Conspiracy: Spend Less.
PL Point: Free up your resources to support things that truly matter.
As we work together with him, we urge you also not to accept the grace of God in vain.
2 Corinthians 6:1
PL Pondering:
- Why do I want to buy this?
- What kind of company am I supporting if I purchase this product?
- Can I afford to spend this amount?
- How many presents do we actually need?
I will most gladly spend and be spent for you. If I love you more, am I to be loved less?
2 Corinthians 12:15
Trust in him at all times, O people;pour out your heart before him;God is a refuge for us. Selah
Psalms 62:8
