“Advent Conspiracy: Give More”
"Advent Conspiracy: Give More"During the Advent Conspiracy we’re invited first to Worship Fully, then to Spend Less, and now to Give More. Giving more can mean giving more of ourselves to a friend or family member by being more available or by enjoying quality time or an enriching experience with them. Giving more can mean giving to others, as Jesus put it, “the least of these,” and in so doing giving to Him (Matthew 25:40).

It’s an invitation to ask a serious question: does the amount of money I spend on Christmas, or on anything else for that matter, actually make me happier?

Or, how about this–does more stuff or newer stuff really increase my satisfaction in life? - Oct 15, 2017“Advent Conspiracy: Worship Fully”
