Sowing Seeds of Sabbath
Today is yet another Sabbath Saturday for the Stevens family and for Soul City Church. We believe that our Success as leaders and as a church is directly connected to the discipline of Sabbath. We believe that our posture of Dependence on God is directly connected to the discipline of Sabbath. We believe that our capacity to genuinely Enjoy each other and our kids is directly connected to the discipline of Sabbath. So today, we Sabbath.
Here’s what we won’t do:
- Email, Text, Twitter, Facebook, Blog (this post was written earlier smarty pants!)
Here’s what we will do:
- Rest, Play, Talk, Plant Flowers, Clean the House, and Wrestle (Daddy vs. Elijah)
See you on Sunday.
XTREME Sabbath!!!
It was yet another Sabbath Saturday here at the Stevens House.
- A day of Replenishment.
- A day of Play.
- A day of Family.
- A day of No Meetings.
- A day free from Blogs, Emails, Tweets, Texts, and Facebook.
- A day we didn’t think about comments and analytics.
- A day that we worked hard…at resting.
It was a great day.
We love hearing all the different ways that different people Sabbath. So, if you Sabbath, we’d love to know how. And if you don’t, we’d love to know why.
And on the second day…they rested.
It’s the second day here at SoulCityBlog.com…and we’re unplugging. It’s ok. It’s just for a day. Part of the rhythm of our family is to Sabbath on Saturdays. It’s a day for us to Rest, Reflect, Unplug, Unwind, and simply BE with our family and with God. This is not a new idea, it’s an ancient one. And it’s not just a personal habit, it’s one we’re trying to incorporate into the life of Soul City Church.
How does a Church…rest? How does a church position itself to depend on God? To stop? To Sabbath.
You won’t hear from Soul City Church today. No tweets, no emails, no texting, and no blogging (BTW – this piece was written yesterday). Today, we sabbath.
Tomorrow, we’re back at it again. We can’t wait to continue this amazing journey with you.
