Genesis 2:4

As New York pastor Rich Villodas defines it, a deeply formed life is a life marked by integration, intersection, intertwining, and interweaving, holding together multiple layers of spiritual formation. This kind of life calls us to be people who cultivate lives with God in prayer, move toward reconciliation, work for justice, have healthy inner lives, and see our bodies and sexuality as gifts to steward.

In this 7-day reading plan, Beth Moore uses questions from Scripture to lead you into intimacy with the One who knows you best. The crooked punctuation mark at the end of a sentence speaks of curiosity, interest, and perhaps doubt. A question is an invitation to vulnerability, to intimacy. The Bible does not shy away from such an invite. Over and over we see the people of God asking questions of their Creator. We also see the God of the universe asking questions of His creation. The Quest is a challenge to accept the invitation.  Learn to dig into the Word, to respond to the questions of God, and to bring your questions before Him. Let the crooked punctuation mark be the map that points you into a closer relationship with the Father.

Enquanto a humanidade existir, o trabalho faz parte da vida cotidiana. O trabalho pode ser uma bênção, mas também pode ser exaustivo e difícil. Portanto, as pessoas também precisam de descanso. E o descanso é mais do que apenas "uma pausa do trabalho"; é também uma questão de paz interior. Em última análise, esse descanso só pode ser encontrado em Deus.
