“Simplicity is the only thing that can sufficiently reorient our lives so that possessions can be genuinely enjoyed without destroying us.”
Richard J. Foster in Quaker Life vol. 20 (Friends Publication Board, 1979) 20.
My prayer is that the American Church will wake up and abandon consumerism for simplicity. I am learning that life does not consist in the abundance of possessions (Luke 12:15) but rather in enjoyment and sharing (1 Tim 6:17-19).
