You may be thinking things like beer consumption, sun bathing, thanksgiving dinner or watching sports on tv. It's true that the USA has been the greatest consuming nation on the planet for years. We have a tendency to want more, bigger and better of everything out there. After all, we did invent the Big Gulp, which was quickly out done by the Big Gulch. The full size Jeep wasn't enough, we had to supersize it and came out with the Hummer.
So, how much is to much?
Now thoughts of pop music, gossip, time in traffic, taxes, gas prices, violent crime........ the dark side of to much starts to come out pretty quick. Much can be said about the things taken from us either by force, extortion or innocence lost. Truth is we live in a very dark world with to much hurt and suffering. So, how much is to much?
Jesus loved us SO MUCH he gave everything to bring light into this dark world. He loves us SO MUCH it radically changes everything about us. The Moravians, who were Bohemians (now the Czech republic) first became followers of Jesus in the 1400s. Jesus' love radically changed them, so much so, they would send out missionaries to the darkest places on earth to serve those suffering in the worst conditions. Some of them are even known to have sold themselves into slavery so they could reach other slaves for Christ. Now that's extreme!
