“Just because we consume doesn’t mean why have to find our identity, either destructive or redemptive, through consumption.”
This is a powerful statement. I know that I have at times justified my consumption because I thought it held some sort of redemptive element to it. Whether it was “green” or promoted justice or whatever, it made me feel better about what I purchased. I think it is time to repent.

This is the quote from MIchael that grabbed my attention too. Thinking repentance should be in the air with this kind of thinking.
