Comments on: consumer http://jamisonprawn.net/2009/06/consumer/ And may these words on my heart, on my lips, somehow mean so much more than this.

Wondering how much that will annoy me by the end of the series. And yeah T, I guess I can see what you're saying. I guess what I didn't like was just that it wasn't biblically based yet. And that it's kind of implied that you have to be there for all the weeks to see the biblical interpretation of consumerism. I dunno. It's petty I guess. Cos I'd hope most of us would already know how we should be responding to our "consumeristic" lifestyle as Christians. But I just would wonder about people who were there on Sunday who were either very new Christians, or who didn't know God yet - would the choices of a follower of God be as clear to them? I think that's all I was worried about. Seeing that first DVD has already got me thinking about what/why/how I buy things as a Christian, and also just as a consumer in general. I guess that's its aim. Yes, the DVD graphics were a bit intense. Wondering how much that will annoy me by the end of the series.

But I just would wonder about people who were there on Sunday who were either very new Christians, or who didn’t know God yet – would the choices of a follower of God be as clear to them?

The company that made it does this with all their videos. and unfortunately they made a TEAR video recently. if any of you want to borrow the DVD from me you can, the paris one that is.

I thought the graphics and flicking in the DVD must be how the younger gen. like it - certainly drives me a little crazy - but I wouldn't want to agree with Howie!!!

It's disturbing how thoroughly we are affected by it all. Although, I would disagree with you that they didn't bring it back to God. I would say they did. Not in a how do we fix it yet way I assume that will come later but even in just getting us to think about how this is affecting church and our Christian lives and the reasons as to why we want to change brings it back, for me at least. I am really looking forward to the next few weeks. I liked it also!! It’s disturbing how thoroughly we are affected by it all.
