Put God First ebook

"We now seem to be passing through a most extraordinary and dangerous time in our nation's history. It's a time when profligate consumption -- more media, more food, more sex, more money, more credit, more debt, more licit and illicit drugs of all kinds, more of just about everything except time -- all but destroys any sense of propriety and proportion, estranges us from God, and threatens the quality of our lives and communities at every level of society, irrespective of age, race, gender, or social status. "It's a time I call the Great Age of Excess, and I believe that the simple but controversial ideas in this little book represent our best hope to survive our individual and collective journeys through it." The Great Age of Excess is an extreme place by definition, a place where the average American consumes 11.7 hours of media each and every day, a place where compulsive behavior and addiction are the rules, not the exceptions. In the Great Age of Excess, our day-to-day behavior is characterized most notably by an irrefutable addiction to media. We are -- by any reasonable definition or criteria -- obsessed with and addicted to the media, both as individuals and as a culture.

	*"Put God First* is all about the choices we make...It’s about how we react as individuals and as a society to the culture of mass consumption that we invite into our lives in the Great Age of Excess, and about God’s role – or lack thereof – in the mix. It’s about the wholesale Faustian exchange of time for endless false promises, and how that exchange threatens the quality of our lives on all levels – spiritual, physical, emotional, and social. It's about how the quality of our lives will improve dramatically when we learn how to put Him first in the Great Age of Excess."

"The quality of life is a reflection of how and where and with whom we choose to spend our time." "How and where we invest our time and attention reflects our values."

more quotes from Put God First "Addiction is a flight from God, a flight and respite from personal responsibility." "Addiction is never about the specific drug. Rather, it's about behavior. It's about how we spend our time and money." "We invest more time in media consumption than we invest in any other activity, including sleep." "We now spend more than a trillion dollars annually on the media devices and media we consume." "We are addicted as individuals and as a culture to media." "We have a tendency to become our attention." "In the Great Age of Excess, enough is never enough." "Real freedom is the freedom to opt out." "God represents moderation in all things."
