		<description><![CDATA[Great point that the stuff is ‘not as alluring’ in the light of Jesus’ glory! The escapist sentiment is where I assume the song writer is pointing out, I confess. I think Wright has a point in that we often have been unquestioning of content in hymns and for some years singing out any old thing especially where it leads us to think of our future with God- rescued from this earthly toil and living a sinless state in heaven. Certainly in worship songs now we’re singing more of God’s Hope that we have HERE and NOW in God’s creation than living for a future date and faith as insurance for that. I wonder if you and Wright have this in common…? 

You’ve written positively about ‘stuff’ and alluded to our western material comforts, yet there is also an assumption within that, that a follower of Jesus would use their wealth to serve. I wonder that Zacchaeus’ realization when we came to faith was that ‘his’ wealth and resources was really not his at all. And like the parable of talents- that God’s power and resources works through our actions, when its under His authority and Lordship.

thanks for a great blog. I&#039;ve really enjoyed what I&#039;ve read!]]></description>
