Are you a member of the Next-Best-Thing Club? Often we get so caught up in the culture around us, we think we are not cool if we don’t have the latest phone or tech gadget. And once we have the latest device, suddenly we feel like we are a part of the club, at least until the next new thing comes out. Many aspects of technology are helpful. But if we’re not careful, our quest for (and time invested in) the latest, greatest gadget vies for our time over the most important things in life, i.e. people.

In fact, there are many days we find it hard to get out of bed and face the day’s challenges.

From the sweeteners we put in our coffee to the “who” we put in our relationships, we live in a world where appetites dictate choices. And while all appetites are not bad, our choices do have a ripple effect. When it comes to areas like our faith and close relationships, will we choose real or imitation?
