Greatest Threat to our Faith???

New Age??

Buddhism??

Islam??

Terrorism??

I believe the greatest threat to our faith is none of these things. I am begining to think it is the subversive influence of consumerism. This disease has infected every one of us and tends to be extremely heinous and insidious. It is a real challenge to the Gospel.

The question or quest is to determine how we combat such a pervasive and persuasive influence in our culture with out totally abandoning that culture and secluding ourselves in a monastery or convent some where or becoming a recluse?

How do we incarnate in culture and not become infected with culture to the point we can no longer influence it with Christ?
