Church-Wide Read (Winter)

They call it "social acceleration." With every innovation designed to make our lives more efficient, life seems to actually speed up. People regularly feel stressed, guilty, and discontent - because of the limits of space and time. As a result, exhaustion and alienation mark our daily lives. We try the life-hacks and healthy habits, but often with short-lived success. Maybe the answer isn't to hack the system, but to re-orient our perspective. Maybe our limitations are a good thing. Maybe we need to remember that we are only human, and that our limitations aren't a burden to transcend but a blessing to embrace.

To help us reorient our perspective, we're recommending Kelly Kapic's book You're Only Human: How Your Limits Reflect God's Design and Why That's a Good Thing. In addition to reading and benefitting from this book yourself, we hope that it might lead to good conversations in your discipling relationships with others in our church. As we rediscover the goodness of how God made us, may we experience healing, wholeness, and joy in the life we've been given.

Acknowledge that the Lord is God. He made us, and we are his... (Psalm 100:3)

For he knows what we are made of, remembering that we are dust. (Psalm 103:14)

Tolle Lege!
