A Living Bread Ideas series
Do Not Outsource Your Soul
Do Not Outsource Your Soul. This is one thread of Living Bread Ideas: a set of essays that take a piece of ordinary modern life, ask who told us it had to be this way, and set it beside Jesus Christ. Not to call the world evil, but to ask what has been quietly behaving like a lord.
“And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.”
