God is sovereign over nature and humanity, and establishment of righteousness on the inside, flows outward to justice for all people.

When God, out of His mercy, allows difficulty on His people, it is to cause them to turn from their sinful worship back to Him, before it is too late.

Common sense, equity, humanitarianism and a culture of honor become foreign to God’s people when they adopt the moral standards of the godless culture around them.

As divine judgement visits God’s own people, they will either become the products of fiery refinement, or be consumed in fiery wrath.

As God invites His people to draw near and receive His rest,  we celebrate the good things He has done. 

In an ever-changing world of chaos and noise, we are invited to come to the Savior who rests and gives rest beyond work, schedules, and goals.

Initiated in the beginning, described in Israel's formation as a people, and culminating in Christ, the gift of rest is woven beautifully through God’s plan for His people.

Built into the fabric of creation is God’s rhythmic flow of work and rest, perfectly positioning us after His divine pattern.

In an act of pursuant love, God enters time and space as a man, accomplishing the will of the Father, and restoring perfect fellowship with humanity. 

The perfect distinction of God as separate from everything else in essence, nature, space and character is not only eternally celebrated around the throne of heaven, but in His creation, leading us to humility, reverence and worship.
