The Vine Madison

Madison is a place fulled with busy students, busy professionals, and busy families. We often stuggle to cope with the intensity... feel guilty for things left undone... struggle to balance faith, family, ministry, and work. Here is a great quote from an article written to pastors and missionaries on the problem of burnout. There is truth in this for all of us.

When I find myself heading for burnout, more often than not I've lost the rhythms of rest and repentance and start to chase my idols. I take my sights off of Christ and become self-focused---simply put, I try to take God's place on the throne.

Rest and repentance are both hallmarks of a Gospel-centered life. A good reminder for all of us.
