Scripture: Luke 10:25-42
Guest speaker Chris Rice brought the message this Sunday.
Every age has its signature affliction, according to Byung-Chul Han. Ours is the age of the burnout society. We’re in captivity to our activity.
The story of the good Samaritan is about allowing our lives to be interrupted by the stranger by the side of the road. The story of Bethany is about our lives being interrupted by extravagant devotion. Extravagant action cannot be separated from extravagant stillness in this time of anxiety and burnout.
We need to get God’s love into our bones! The Psalmist did not write, “Be busy and know that I am God.”
