We should live more simply--and give more generously--because it frees us up and shifts our center of gravity.
Giving will spark a Copernican revolution in the lives of Christians who understand that life doesn't revolve around the things of earth. In giving, we surrender our possessions to their proper center of gravity: God.
Giving and simpler living loosen the grip of materialism on our lives. Giving away what we don't need is the greatest cure for affluenza. How can we expect to embrace the Christian experience of Paul, Luther, Wesley, Muller, Carmichael, Taylor, and a host of others without also embracing their attitude toward possessions and the simpler lifestyle it fostered?
