I’m not sure where this quote is from, so if anyone knows please let me know in the comments so I can attribute it properly.

“…in a society which worships material prosperity, Jesus commands us to worship God and to invest in heaven’s treasures. This means having a mindset at odds with the materialistic consumerism of our age. It means believing that ‘a person’s life does not consist in the abundance of their possessions’ (Luke 12:16), in defiance of the claims of the advertising agencies. In a society where 6 year-olds are teased for not wearing the right brand of trainers, this is profoundly counter-cultural and will not be easy.”
