Spread the word- Advent Conspiracy

Jesus was counter-cultural. I think we should be too. That doesn’t mean that if we clash with our culture on just any issue we’re following Jesus. We need to take a thoughtful look at our culture and pinpoint those cultural influences that are in opposition to Jesus’ teachings.

Modern-day Christmas seems like a good place to start.

This paragraph from the Advent Conspiracy website sums it up well.

“The story of Christ’s birth is a subversive story of an upside-down kingdom. It’s a story of promise, hope, and a revolutionary love that is still changing the world to this day. So, what happened? What was once a time to celebrate the birth of a savior has somehow turned into a season of stress, traffic jams, and shopping lists. And when it’s all over, many of us are left with presents to return, looming debt that will take months to pay off, and this empty feeling that we somehow missed its purpose.”

Advent Conspiracy is a movement among churches in America during the Advent Season.

Check out this video about the Advent Conspiracy to learn more about the movement, it’s really well made.

Tell everyone you know about it! Join the Conspiracy, and let’s celebrate a more joy-filled, Christ-centered, relationship-building Christmas season!
