The Simple Life (Eller) 3 – some interesting thoughts on simple living for Christians: “The motive of Christian simplicity is not the enjoyment of simplicity itself…the sole motive of Christian simplicity is the enjoyment of God himself–it is ‘the view of the stars,’ ‘the contemplation of the heavens rather than of fireworks’…More specifically, Christian simplicity is so to use ‘things’ so that, first, they do not interfere with one’s absolute joy in God, and, second, they actually point toward and contribute to that joy.”
