"We are not building God's kingdom. He is building his kingdom, and we are praying for the privilege of being involved" (Francis Schaeffer).

I have long thought of Sabbath as an opportunity to cease from PRODUCING, but it also has a history of ceasing from CONSUMING.

The review of @daneortlund’s Gentle and Lowly is an example of why we needed Gentle and Lowly.

Rom. 12:15 says ‘weep with those who weep’ not ‘justify why you aren’t weeping’ or ‘correct those who weep.’
To weep with, we need to feel the pain. To feel the pain, we need to understand. To understand, we need to be informed. To be informed, we need to listen/read. And fast.
