Longing and Belonging
Even as they see their wages go down and their buying power decrease, many parents are still putting their kids' material desires first. These parents struggle with how to handle children's consumer wants, which continue unabated despite the economic downturn.

What a difference this makes to faith, worship, and the role of the church in an apocalyptic future.
