Saint Athanasius Lutheran Church

I suppose it's like this in other neighborhoods as well, but when you're driving to church or driving through Vienna, it is hard to miss all the large and beautiful houses that are going up everywhere. Now, this isn't necessarily bad. It's not wrong to have a nice big home, nor is it better to have a small, modest home. But I do think it says something about our society today, where we're at, and what is valued. Do we find our value as people no longer in who we are and what we believe, but rather what we have? Not in the content of our character or our faith, but in the size of our homes and cars and bank accounts?
