We wrapped up our two-part series on Sabbath on Sunday night. I talked about what Jesus said about Sabbath, how we can begin keeping the Sabbath, and how Sabbath connects to Communion. You can always check out the podcast on the Crash web site or in the iTunes store. New talks are posted by the end of the day on Tuesdays.
-”I thought I was a big deal…you can ask my friends, I really thought I was a big deal.”
-”I lost my blackberry today for about an hour…it was like the world was ending…even once I found it, I was still stressed out.”
-”Do what renews you…do what humbles you.”
-”So, for me, when I see a French press full of coffee, I am reminded of Friday afternoons on my balcony with my friend Joshua – with him reminding me that I am not the creator and sustainer of life.”
-”Jesus does not support a religious observance, a worship experience that comes at the cost of people – people created in his image – suffering”
-”God did not create Sabbath and go – ‘now I need some people to enjoy this’. God created people and then went – ‘for them to live life to the full, they need Sabbath’.”
-”Sabbath was created for man; man was not created for the Sabbath.”
-”We are not infinite, unlimited creatures…this is why some of us resist Sabbath, because it bursts the bubble that is our over-inflated self-image”
