Something is going on with work in our culture. We’ve lost our rhythms of work and rest. And work is becoming a crisis issue. In Genesis 1 and 2, work and rest come up in the very beginning of creation. This tells us that understanding work and rest...
If you live in North America or Europe, the question almost everyone has in mind when they read Genesis 1 is “How?” They ask, “How did it happen? How long did it take?” But how questions aren’t as important as why questions. What you really need to...
