i cant wait to start sabbathing!

“all those little moments throughout our days to wake up to the reality of God all around us. to wake up to our own souls. to draw our minds’ attention (and, with it, devotion) back to God; to come off the hurry drug and come back to awareness.”

“the western church has lost sight of the fact that the way of Jesus is just that: a way of life. it’s not just a set of ideas (what we call theology) or a list of dos and don’ts (what we call ethics). I mean, it is that, but it’s so much more. it’s a way of life based on that of Jesus himself. a lifestyle.

“if you want the life of Jesus, you have to adopt the lifestyle of Jesus.”
