Whenever we discuss the theology of work, we must also address the purpose of rest. We rest as an act of trust in God, and we rest in preparation for more work. Unfortunately, many merely work to rest, misunderstanding the goodness of work and placing leisure as the highest aim.
I started a six-week class titled "Christ in the Workplace" this past Sunday. With as much time as we spend at our jobs, it's important to know why we work and its purpose.

One of the greatest thrills of my life has been to be involved in the work of church planting, both sending and being sent. Excited to be a part of it again as we commission Compass South Valley this weekend. https://t.co/yBtkEFS4Ci
I spent $8,000 on therapy.
Two years of sessions.
Every week, we "explored my childhood."
Then I tried biblical counseling.
First session: "You're a sinner. So am I. Christ died for both of us. Now let's figure out how to live differently."
I changed more in 3 months than 2 years.
One system wants your money.
The other wants your transformation...
Umberto Eco, who owned 50,000 books, had this to say about home libraries:
“It is foolish to think that you have to read all the books you buy, as it is foolish to criticize those who buy more books than they will ever be able to read. It would be like saying that you should use all the cutlery or glasses or screwdrivers or drill bits you bought before buying new ones.
“There are things in life that we need to always have plenty of supplies, even if we will only use a small portion.
“If, for example, we consider books as medicine, we understand that it is good to have many at home rather than a few: when you want to feel better, then you go to the ‘medicine closet’ and choose a book. Not a random one, but the right book for that moment. That’s why you should always have a nutrition choice!
“Those who buy only one book, read only that one and then get rid of it. They simply apply the consumer mentality to books, that is, they consider them a consumer product, a good. Those who love books know that a book is anything but a commodity.”
Fantastic. The Bottom of the Hill Publishing version is ideal as it breaks Watson’s points down into easily digestible outlines, making it more readable.
A must have especially for biblical counselors.
It’s time to start the @compassbibletv advent devotional! We are learning about Christ as the perfect prophet, priest, and king as we expectantly prepare to celebrate His birth.
The word of God is the only tool with the capability to pierce, discern, and expose us truly (Heb 4:12-13). This is why biblical counseling is the most genuinely caring and effective type of counseling.
Trusting the Lord for what we need and aggressively pursuing sanctification through spiritual disciplines are not mutually exclusive. Those who trust the Lord greatly work tirelessly to pursue holiness because God promises to grow us in Christlikeness.
As a biblical counselor I must desire above all for my counselee to grow in Christlikeness to the grlory of God. All of my counseling is downstream from this.
