Interesting Concept
CP says that the whole Chick-Fil-A thing back about 8 months ago was an example of the "faith-driven consumer." I find that fascinating, but troubling. It is an obvious marketing concept one that has been around for a long time. We see it in every Christian bookstore and the retail outlets that exist in mega-churches.
Problem is our sinful nature tends to cause such faith-based consumption to become how we define faith instead of a expression of faith. If I had to think about it, the issue really centers around Christian maturity. A mature faith can shop without it becoming a defining factor of faith, but when one is "young."
I wonder how the church relearns to provide access to some and not to others?
