The Sabbath wasn't a consolation prize for Adam and Eve in the garden, and it's not today for us. The Sabbath is not a test of holiness. It's not a divider for the good and the bad. So, what is it? Watch and share. Source: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/rAZx4vhfbA4

Hebrews 4:9-10 says, “There remains therefore a rest for the people of God. For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His” (NKJV). Do you need rest this week? God says, if we are His people, we get to rest in Him—and that means resting from work too! Share this with someone who needs a reminder to rest this week. Happy Sabbath!

We are the most connected generation in human history. We have devices in our pockets that link us to eight billion people and thousands of friends on social media, and are constantly notified, tagged, and messaged. Yet public health experts are screaming a warning that we cannot ignore: we are living through a global epidemic of loneliness. We are drowning in information, but we are starving for connection. This is not just a feeling. It is a medical emergency. The Surgeon General of the United States recently released an advisory stating that chronic loneliness is as lethal as smoking 15 cigarettes a day. Think about that comparison. Being disconnected from people damages your heart and shortens your life just as much as a serious addiction to tobacco. The World Health Organization declared loneliness a "global public health priority." They found that social isolation increases the risk of stroke by 30% and the risk of dementia by 50%. The loneliest generation today is Generation Z. The very young people who are digital natives, and spend hours scrolling through the lives of others, report the highest levels of emptiness. They see the highlight reels of their friends' lives and feel utterly excluded. God addressed this issue before sin even entered the world. In the book of Genesis, God looked at a perfect world—a world with no pain, no death, and no conflict—and He made one negative observation. He said, "…It is not good for man to be alone…" (Genesis 2:18, NKJV). If it was not good in Paradise, imagine how bad it is in a world of sin. We were designed for community. We are biologically and spiritually wired to belong. Sociologists talk about the concept of the "Third Place." Your First Place is your home. Your Second Place is your work or school. But for a society to be healthy, people need a Third Place: a community where they are known by name, where they are missed when they are absent, and where they are loved without condition. For billions of people, the local church is the only potential Third Place left. We need to move from being a friendly church to being a church of friends. Let us make our churches the warmest places on earth. "By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another" (John 13:35, NKJV).
