The Quote that won't go away (in a good way)

A quote I wrote in May of 2001 popped up again on Christianity Today's Out of Ur. Here's what I said.
"Conversion in the U.S. seems to mean we've exchanged some of our shopping at Wal-Mart, Blockbuster, and Borders for the Christian Bookstore down the street. We've taken our lack of purchasing control to God's store, where we buy our office supplies in Jesus' name."
Here's the original post. Give me some grace, it was 2001.. yes and parts that talk about authority make me cringe. I don't think I've actually said that again since 2001, but maybe I should.

Thanks to Skye to hanging on to that little quote for so long. Skye if you read this, we're both speaking at the NPC in San Diego in Feb. let's have a conversation. I'm interested to read Skye's book that he's writing on consumerism.

I bet I can find some of your old quotes from a variety of web sources that would make you cringe if I posted them. :-)

But because we are friends, I won't.

Mark,

I'd love to connect at NPC.

I've hung on to that quote of yours because it's so vivid. Why try and reinvent the wheel. And, yes, it's in my book as well.
