Before sin entered the world, God entrusted man with the incredible responsibility of working and cultivating the land, simply put…get to work (Gen. 2). One chapter later man was tempted to see creation as better than Creator when Satan cleverly said ‘if you take this fruit you will be able to “see” what is good.’ It was the first attack on our soul with consumerism. Since then, it has been a continual, relentless attack.

The Western church has only aided the enemy’s attack on our souls and therefore halting the mission of God with consumerism.
