Some idle (idol?) thoughts....


- Idleness is the parent of psychology. -
Nietche

Nietche said it well & I agree - but I'd go so far as to say that I think idleness has become an American idol -
& that society's obsession w/ doing as little as possible is the cause of much mental illness - bc it defeats our purpose (!) by contradicting...


why we were created - for relationship! w/ God & others

- &

what we were designed (programmed!) to do -good works


Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground."So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.

Genesis 1:26

For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works,
which God prepared in advance for us to do.
Ephesians 2:10

Therefore, I urge you brothers, in view of God's mercy,
to offer your bodies as living sacrfices, holy and pleasing to God
- this is your spiritual act of worship.
Romans 12:1

...whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.
I Corinthians 10:31b
