Busy or Fruitful?

Last night I read through a series of blog posts by C. J. Mahaney, author of Living the Cross Centered Life, concerning biblical productivity. They have been collected into a .pdf file which is available here. An index of the posts can also be found here. These articles are worth checking out. Mahaney describes (and remedies) the difference between business and productivity.

Cross Centered Living Study

We began our Cross Centered Living Study this past Wednesday Night (4-29-2009). We are using C. J. Mahaney's book as a guide. Dr. R. Albert Mohler says the book, "is nothing less than a manifesto for turning your world upside down."

This study is meant to help us understand how to live our life with a continual focus on the cross of Christ. When it comes to the gospel, Mahaney reminds us, "Nothing else--not even things that are biblical and honorable--are of equal or great importance than this: God sent His Son to the cross to bear His wrath for sinners like you and me" (pg. 14-15, emphasis in original).

Is the cross the main thing in your life? Is it what defines you? Are you passionate about the gospel? If you aren't really sure how to answer these questions, I invite you to join us on Wednesday nights. If you can't say, "yes" to these questions, you would also benefit from this study. If you can say, "yes" to these questions, you, too, can be refreshed through this study.
