Especially when I think about Paul's life, which makes it really tough to enjoy a day of restaurants and shopping or a hobby without feeling insanely guilty. In fact, I actually feel relieved sometimes when reading Old Testament passages about enjoying your life and the people and prosperity that God has provided, versus the open-ended calls for complete sacrifice and dedication from Jesus. I can't ever recall hearing a sermon about it, but I guess most American congregations don't really need more encouragement to take it easy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
