TAKE 5 | Embracing the Yoke: Finding Soulful Rest in the Way of Jesus
The way of the Lord, taking on the yoke of Christ, is an invitation for us to learn and grow and rest in our Savior. This kind of rest refreshes our soul, renews our mind, and restores our bodies because we are made for the fullness and richness of soul that is complete in Christ. Let's look at a few ways we can full embrace Christ and his ways in us.
TAKE 5 | God Values Rest
We are created to work and rest, one can't exist without the other. But even when we practice good rest ethic and good work ethic, are we truly valuing rest as good and fulfilling gift that is is from our Heavenly Father?
TAKE 5 | Working on a Good Rest Ethic
As Christians we are called to work diligently and do good to those around us, but have you considered that good work ethic should be paired with a good rest ethic? Work and rest are both equally important gifts from God that both bring Him glory, but oftentimes it can be difficult to give both ethics equal importance and attention. How is your balance?
TAKE FIVE | Mini-Retreat - Turning Toward Rest
Jesus is close to us and we are close to him when we are following him and heeding his counsel, abiding in him in loving and humble obedience, and resisting impulses that take us away from him in empty activity. This is the spirit of his invitation to repent. It is both a turning away and a turning toward. It’s not just a matter of morality but of loving allegiance to Jesus.
