I don't think I've ever heard anyone say, "Money is the key to happiness." And, according to Luke's account, Jesus himself said, "Blessed [happy] are the poor...."  Perhaps we (the human race) are missing something: could it be that it's not the economy that's our problem?

Why is advertising on Christian radio so much like advertising everywhere else--aimed at selfish consumerism?  What if every ad on Christian radio connected the product or service to what a Christian ought to be doing with it in the world?  "Too busy talking with your neighbors about the Lord to cook?  How about a salad from McDonald's instead?"  "Worried that your wife is overworked? How about treating her to a day at ___?" "Need a new app? Or is it time to purchase one for your mother in the nursing home instead?" (If not now, try that one in sixty years.)  Seems like Christian advertisers and broadcasters ought to start thinking differently from the world.
