God calls us to work. Yet, we are not to work too much. Solomon teaches us that the wise man has one fistful of work and one fistful of rest. But, as we work in this sin broken world we find that it is hard to keep that balance. it is so easy to slide into workaholism and over work.
In this message Pastor Brandon shows us that if we take certain Biblical disciplines seriously we have a chance to keep work in its place. This message unpacks the discipline of creation care or environmental stewardship.
God is creator and ultimate caregiver of this creation. But, he entrusts the care of his creation to man. Man, therefore, must strive to not only work the creation but also to keep it.
