A young executive is cruising along in high gear, peddling her sports car as fast as she can. Maybe she moves into a smaller house in a rural area and grows her own tomatoes. Maybe she gets smart, gets control of her credit card and pays off her debts. Basically she's downshifting to increase her personal happiness. Christians adopt Voluntary Simplicity for the same reasons.
Personal happiness is good.
But there's more. We adopt Voluntary Simplicity also to be in touch with God and to help others. Voluntary Simplicity is a lifestyle of integrity, living as a disciple of Jesus, walking our talk. Biblical Justice is quite different. It reflects God's great love for the poor and our call to respond to their needs.
