Widely-acclaimed author Mark Buchanan states that what we've really lost is the rest of God-the rest God bestows and, with it, that part of Himself we can know only through stillness." Stillness as a virtue is a foreign concept in our society, but there is wisdom in God's own rhythm of work and rest. Jesus practiced Sabbath among those who had turned it into a dismal thing, a day for murmuring and finger-wagging, and He reminded them of the day's...

I love everything that Scott Sauls writes. -- Christine Caine What if Christians became the best advertisement for Jesus? Jesus said his followers would be a light to the world and a city on a hill -- a warmly inviting, neighbor-loving, grace- and truth-filled destination for all.
