We are a society engulfed in business, running from one engagement to the next, with little to no time for the things that God has offered to bring us rest, joy, purpose, peace, and fulfillment. No time for abundance.
We skip church because we are tired. We have many acquaintences but few close friends. We are tired, weary, and empty because we have bought into the lie that we have to "hustle" and "grind" our way through life.
That isn't the life that Jesus modeled for us and it isn't what He wants for us. So how do we fight against the prevailing culture that says we need to speed through life at a frenetic, unsustainable pace? We turn to the Word and see what Jesus lays out for us.
