New Life. The Power of Rest

In a culture that stresses work as the means to consuming and consuming as the key to happiness, rest does not make sense. Dallas Willard once quipped that work is the new cultural “drug of choice”, therefore rest, including practising sabbath, is a critical discipline in the reformation of our lives. Rest reminds the Christian that they are not defined by their ability to produce or consume, rather they are defined by their identity in Christ––the one who created and sustains all things.
