"For thus said the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel, "in returning and rest you shall be saved; in quietness and in trust shall be your strength." - Isaiah 30:15. This is the final episode in our World vs. Word series! The world LONGS for rest, and so do we, but the prescriptive is different.  Today, Amy looks at the world's answer to Me-Time and how the Bible would help us find rest.

What does the Word say about us being the boss?  Today Amy looks at the phrase but also the heart behind this line of thinking.  How can we think biblically about the "work" we do?

“Christianity teaches righteousness, not rights. It emphasizes honor, not equality. A Christian's concern is what is owed to the other, not what is owed to himself.”

The world has taken a subjective phrase and moved it to the objective -- "You do YOU." Today Amy looks at ways that this phrase has affected us culturally and how it is antithetical to the Gospel.

We love to control things and, in the end, it likely comes down to our understanding of authority and whether we are truly submitted to God and His Word. Today we will look at how phrases like "I write my own story" or "I am the architect of my destiny" measure up against the truth of God's Word.

The world says "Love is love" but without a source of truth in their definition, there has been a domino effect on culture and marriage. Today Amy looks at what the Bible says love actually is and why marriage is actually a really big deal.

References:
“Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.” 1 Corinthians 13:4–7

This episode is the first in an 8-part series where we will be taking a world statement and running it through the sieve of scripture. The world says “It's all about you”, but the Word says, "He must increase, I must decrease." (John 3:30)
