John Eldredge on "Time Out"

What an incredibly challenging concept.

I can't help but see how true this often is in my own life. How often I have lived in that "third kingdom" without recognizing the "reality presented [in Scripture] allows for only two kingdoms" and that "Any life or joy or rest comes only as we abide in God, and walk with him. Not through this mythical time out I want to cling to."

What do you all think?

I love his blog and how challenging it is sometimes. I also love your new blog look!

I totally agree. It is so easy to push all that other "spiritual stuff" aside and just be lazy... but scary to realize the kingdom I'm playing with when I'm not abiding in God....
