ThinkChristian.net - Blogging about the intersection of faith and culture
The Friday after Thanksgiving is usually one of the busiest shopping days of the year in the US. This year, despite terrible economic conditions, Black Friday spending was up 3%. As many of you may have seen in the headlines, the rush to buy discounted TV’s, computers and other things lead to the trampling death of Jdimypai Damour, a Wal-Mart seasonal employee in Long Island, NY.
So I guess the question I’m trying to ask is, how do we handle this as Christians? I see a lot of stuff saying buy less, which is probably a good thing, but most of us will still be in the stores buying gifts. Where were the people trying to help Jdimypai after he was knocked over? Most news accounts say people didn’t stop to help. How can we take a consumer event like a busy shopping day and use it to show how Christians are supposed to live differently? Picketing doesn’t count.

We do not have a Lord who sits aloof in Heaven, with no firsthand idea or comprehension of what it means to be a human or to serve out in the field. Our Lord served and taught, just as He calls us to go to serve and teach.
