“I shop, therefore I am.”
The plausibility of consumerism depends entirely on the apparent permanence of life in this world, we must continually remind each other-and ourselves-that this world and its lusts are indeed passing away (1 Cor. 7:30-31). “Sell your possessions and give to the poor,” Jesus says to us. “Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will not be exhausted, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys” (Luke 12:33).
