Is it because we're trying to import more than the gift itself can bear? What is it that makes the good life feel so elusive for so many people? I have two answers to wyatt's elusive and i'm sure there's a lot more. One is external, just the patterns of this world, our culture, society. And every culture probably has pitfalls on that. We all say the cult of busy, and everyone knows what we're talking about. So i don't need to really explain that any more. We all feel it. It reminds me of going back to your pont about justification a chariots of fire.
Do you ever feel behind in life? In a culture that endlessly calls us to hustle, climb, and improve, we’re bound to feel guilty for settling with “ordinary.” But is the good life built from all that striving? In this episode of White Horse Inn, Eric Landry, Justin Holcomb, and Bob Hiller consider what kind of lives we should expect according to Scripture. How is our experience of the good life shaped by our own experiences as sinful humans who now live under God’s benediction in Christ? They examine goodness as something received from God, how the good life can be the given life, and how this all relates to loving God and our neighbors.
