The Sin of Not Resting
BroKen & Believing | Rev. Kenn Blanchard
Biblically, the sin of not resting is seen as disobedience to God’s rhythm of creation and a rejection of trust in His provision. It leads to spiritual dryness, societal injustice, and even exile. Here’s how Scripture frames this: 🕊️ Rest as a Divine Command • God modeled rest in Genesis 2:2–3, blessing the seventh day and sanctifying it. • The Sabbath was not optional—it was a covenant sign between God and Israel (Exodus 31:13–17). • Ignoring rest was treated as rebellion. In Numbers 15:32–36, a man gathering wood on the Sabbath was put to...

Unrealistic expectations can be a serious challenge, affecting relationships, careers, and personal happiness.
Unrealistic expectations as a Christian often arise from misunderstandings about faith, perfection, and God's plan.
Scriptures often taken out of context:
Then Jesus called the Twelve together and gave them power and authority over all demons, and power to cure diseases. / And He sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.
And these signs will accompany those who believe: In My name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; / they will pick up snakes with their hands, and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not harm them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will be made well.”
to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, / to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in various tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues.
Is any one of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord. / And the prayer offered in faith will restore the one who is sick. The Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven.
Matthew 10:1
And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease.
