Overview
As Christians, we know better: true happiness will never consist of things. Contentment will never be found through satisfying the desires of this life. But a culture that begs us to buy, buy, buy in an effort to make ourselves "better" does not leave us better off in any real sense-or ultimately satisfied. This study will discuss what's wrong with this picture.
