I was wondering today how Christians in the past decades and centuries managed without all the 'stuff' that is available today. Some of them didn't even have bibles but as well as bibles, devotionals of al kinds and some good books, today you can buy calendars, notebooks, pens, jewellery, CDs, DVDs, shopping bags, ornaments, car stickers etc. etc. etc..
Does all this 'stuff' detract from the true message or does it enhance it? There seems to be so much of it readily available in Christian bookshops in most towns or online. And yet most of that 'great cloud of witnesses' never had such things and seemed to be stronger than a lot of us are today.
