In the book of ecclesiastes, chapter two, verse 24, there is nothing better for a person than that he should eat and drink and find enjoyment in his toil. This also, i saw, is from the hand of god. That goes right to what you are talking about, both of you guys, about the doctrine of creation,. Enjoyment in the hand of your toils to the very thing that god says is now subject to some of the fallenness of creation. We're still able to find some enjoyment in that. And even the love of our spouse, the good food, the good drink.
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.
