Christians in a Consumer Culture
Found this on Scott's blog. Good stuff:

Ways to be Christian in a consumer culture:

Live simply

Give without expecting return

View others as intrinsically significant; view them as important for who they are, not for what they can do or for what they have

Slow down

Critique bigger-better-faster-more

Be skeptical of marketing

Be captured by mystery and wonder

Think long-term

Find fulfillment in relationships and service

Create space for silence, stillness, and rest


(For the record, try to compile such a list without utilizing economic metaphors like "value" and "worth". That alone should highlight the challenge that we face.)
