Don't have any fields? Think this doesn't apply to you? Think
again! If you don't know who made your clothes, or what your
bank's investment policy is, or where you're investing when
you buy your food…. Then people could be crying out to God
against you.
If you want to live radical discipleship, then everything
about you seeks to reflect Jesus and declare his Kingdom,
including your money. Can you be cool and on fire…?
The compulsion to be relevant to culture by wearing the labels
has to be a lie… followers of Jesus must seek to honour and
treat justly the workers who produce everything we use - so
- buy clothes you can trust, shop where you know what you're
investing in, make a difference on the High Street.
'But God wants us to have good things' - Of course
he does; but never at the cost of oppression, never if you
are ignoring the cries of the poor for the sake of a label.
Do you think God can't provide for you? Make the Kingdom your
priority, and of course he will.
