I agree, the advertising just brings out what is already in our hearts. I like how John Piper describes the Christian walk as a War because we are constantly fighting against those things that are natural. It’s easy to be lured away into thinking that going into debt to purchase something will bring more pleasure than having self control and saying no.

Teaching kids these lessons at an early age will be tremendously helpful throughout their life.
