Galatians 4:21-31 Born According to the Spirit

According to Paul's letter to the Galatians, our relation to God is not based on performance, but on a supernatural birth, a promise made by God. This is in contrast to the old covenant, which was a conditional agreement based on human effort, and the new covenant, which is an unconditional agreement based on God's promise and power. Christians are born of God, not by human strength, but by the power of the Spirit, and this birth brings a new life, a new creation, and a new relationship with God. [... more]

He argues that our commitment to avoiding boredom at all costs is behind many of our worst habits, worst problems, and biggest anxieties. Brooks suggests that seeking times of stillness and quiet is essential for finding meaning in life, and that the default mode network in our brains, which is responsible for boredom, is being shut off by our constant use of screens.

Retracing Our Footsteps Home Part 1 (Titus 2:5)

Christians must stand against this dark logic and recognize that all life is worth living, regardless of size, space, self-sufficiency, or sophistication. [... more]
