The invitation to God’s rest is simple. Jesus said, “Come to me.” A relationship with our God and Savior is the priority above all else. Despite that simple invitation, we fail to experience a lifestyle of rest because we run into roadblocks. This is nothing new. The Israelites experienced the same thing after they left Egypt. They were promised a homeland, yet they could not

More and more studies show that detaching from work completely leads to increased performance and quality of work and life. It’s almost as if the world is catching on to the notion that rest is important. We all know this is true. However, how and where do we find the most rewarding and satisfying rest?The answer is very simple. Jesus invites us to simply come to Him. There isn�

Doing something without knowing why you’re doing it can easily lead to burnout and giving up. Even good things can become burdensome if we don’t have the “why” settled in our hearts. In looking to Jesus as our model for a Sabbath lifestyle, we see that His “why” was deeply rooted in compassion. It began even before Jesus was born. The famous verse, John 3:16, says, “F

Think about someone in your life who meant a great deal to you. What do you remember about them? Are they good and bad things, or a little both? Remembrance was critically important to Jesus. It wasn’t for His ego, though. He knew that the world and life experiences would try to convince us that the opposite of Jesus’ character is true. He also knew that remembering Him correct

Confusion about the roles and identities of men and women has existed for a long time. It existed in Paul’s day, and we now grapple with it in our culture today. Unfortunately, a beautiful truth and biblical model gets lost in the weeds, and it is the most life-giving model for living this life. The reason is that, like so many other aspects of worship, we allow our culture to sh

The Bible makes it clear on multiple occasions that we should “flee” idols (1 Corinthians 10:14). We see Joseph run from the compromising situation he was in with Potiphar’s wife. But “running away” is probably counterintuitive to our thinking or our flesh. We may want to “stand and resist” that temptation or idol in our life. We may want to try to reason with it. We

It’s easy to think idolatry doesn’t exist when we live in a (mostly) monotheistic society. Idols are very much a real thing in every culture, however. They just look different. Some we might deem more obvious, and others more subtle. The caution is that no matter the time or place, we are all prone to idolatry, and we must keep ourselves from them.St. Thomas Acquinas eloquently

Motivation is a funny word. We often use it when we talk about something that compels us to action. It's usually in reference to a very inconsistent, circumstantial emotion, however. It's rarely a constant, predictable force in our lives. Yet love for others is what ought to be at the heart of our lifestyle as Christians. Brotherly love should dictate everything we say and do, or t
