What happens when we run out of motorized carts?

The last part of my very first blog said the following:

 They say we should never talk about religion or politics. Name me two things that affect your life more. These are two things that will come up in my blog as well.

Now I will admit I have not done hardly anything political, however today I want to blog about something that I think has a horrible affect not only on the politics in this country but on the church as well and that topic is consumerism. We have come to the place where we want, we expect, we demand to be catered to. We often think it and even sometimes even say that we are entitled to something. Then in an effort to keep people coming back to a church or voting for a particular politician we give in to the entitlement mentality and start giving away something for nothing. It’s like handing out free meth, we give away the very thing people are addicted to so they come back to church or again keep a particular politician in office. What good are we doing? Now don’t get me wrong there are times when a person needs some help but there are also times when we keep giving that help we are really doing the person a disservice. Just like in today’s picture now we don’t know his circumstances but perhaps if this guy would have done some more walking in his life perhaps he would not need this type of assistance, but it’s provided anyway to make sure he shops at this store. The problem with consumerism is that fact that when there are more consumers than producers there is less and less to consume and sooner or later we are left with nothing. Like in politics today it sounds really good to steal from the rich and give to the poor but sooner or later there is nothing left to steal and in turn no incentive to succeed. When it comes to the church it really pains me to see those who continually choose not to serve in some capacity or other. If a person come to church only to be served and that number continues to grow all of the ones who do the serving get burned out and then begin to feel entitled to be served themselves. In both instances the pool that produces becomes smaller and smaller and at some point the consumers will have completely drained all of the producers and then what will we do? At some point we will run out of motorized shopping carts and the fight for the last one will be nasty.
