Prayer cross

Experience the magic of the prayer cross. If don’t have TiVo and you actually watch commercials still you probably have seen the prayer cross. It is a cross made with brilliant genuine crystals layered in fine sterling silver. It features a secret center stone, which when held up to the light, reveals the entire Lord’s Prayer. It makes the perfect gift for any occasion. You can take the Lord’s Prayer with you where ever you go. It is available in adult or children sizes.

The Loss of Happiness in Market Democracies. By Robert E. Lane This article is summed up in its opening sentence. “Where your treasure is, there your heart is also” Jesus cautioned.

Advertising and product placement can be seen everywhere even in the church. Lane states that the problem is a rootless society structurally dependent in a variety of ways upon ever-escalating levels of material acquisition at the expense of human happiness, community, and moral significance. When religious marketing becomes a way a furthering our material acquisition it fails the community and fails at furthering happiness.
