Everyday we are confronted with advertising that is trying to sell us something. We are told that our happiness and wholeness is found on the other side of a shopping spree. Curiously Jesus says, “Do not store up for yourselves treasures here on earth, where moths and rust destroy, and robbers break in and steal.” (Mt 6:19) This is a call to consider how we spend our money. It is a call to simplicity and saving all we can. Simplicity is about learning to be content with less (Philippians 4:12). This practice is a direct affront to the basis of advertisements that remind us that we never have enough and are always lacking. The practice of simplicity is based in the truth that the most important question in our financial life is, “does Jesus want me to have it?”. When we live as people of simplicity we make possible a new kind of living from the place of “enough”. We even discover that we have margin to serve others and worship Jesus in all we do.
