Work and rest. What's the biblical balan ce?
Balance.
Many of us work too much, fueled by a workaholic drive. Others barely
make an effort, doing the minimum to stay employed and get a paycheck.
Both groups need balance.
Many of us earn more than we personally need and fill our lives with
experiences and stuff. Others among us struggle to get by. Both groups
need balance.
This study lifts up the biblical mandates to work and to rest. It points us to
actions that achieve balance.
As we apply biblical principles, we move from living and earning for
ourselves to discovering that our jobs and paychecks are resources we can
invest for the kingdom of God.
