You Only Live by Grace!
August 18, 2024
“Take heed therefore — making the most of your time” St Paul, letter to the Ephesians (Chapter 5:15-16)
YOLO — You only live once. This is what is often said now when someone wants to encourage us to pursue adventure and indulge ourselves!! In short, play hard! This is especially true in our post COVID world, one that has realized how preciously short and fragile this one, holy and previous life that we have is.
But is YOLO the Christian response to the shortness of our life span?
Pastor Rob reflects on how for Christians we are called not simply play hard; or do avoid play altogether, but discover where our play and work meet each other. When our work and play become each other, then we discover we are praising our creator.
Yet…there are times when work and play do not overlap. What then? We discover we need something more than YOLO — We need YOLG — You only live by grace!!
