Wasting time with God is so much better than being "productive."

Reflecting on Tim Keller’s Book: Every Good Endeavor: Connecting Your Work to God’s Work By RBAR I am amazed how God constantly shows me the theme of freedom in Christ. The point of Every Good Endeavor, by Tim Keller, is that the gospel of Jesus Christ sets the believer free finding identity in career or work. The freedom declared in Galatians 1:1 is applicable to the bondage of self-condemnation and false identity: “For freedom, Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.” There is a temptation in any job to fall towards pride or shame. Many experience shame from their past which has prohibited opportunities for a particular career. In the words of pastor and counselor Jack Miller as quoted by Keller, “Cheer up: You’re a worse sinner than you ever dared imagine, and you're more loved than you ever dared hope” (p. xix). Finding identity work is also a deception as true identity is found in the fact that all humans are created in the Imago Dei - in the image o

The first time I heard this concept of being fully known was from pastor Matt Chandler in a 12-part sermon series called "Recovering Redemption.” My plumber friend had introduced me to the concept a few years prior. But, it wasn't until after hearing the sermon series that the concept started to haunt me. That is, until I gave into the prompting of the Holy Spirit, trusted that Jesus was truly my deliverer and “came clean.” After I had shared everything that came to mind (because I only wanted to cry once), my wife chose to do the same. From then on, confession and remaining “fully known” became a lifestyle. People in our community group noticed the changes in us and “joined the club.” It was as if everyone was experiencing the joy of Romans 8:1, there is no condemnation in Christ Jesus our Lord. I used to wish that being fully known was a one time deal. Confess it all and be done with it. Then I realized that having a secret could happen the moment I chose to do something that resulted in guilt and shame.

Luke 15 (ESV) 15:1 Now the tax collectors and sinners were all drawing near to hear him. 2 And the Pharisees and the scribes grumbled, saying, “This man receives sinners and eats with them.” 3 So he told them this parable: 4 “What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the open country, and go after the one that is lost, until he finds it? 5 And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. 6 And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep that was lost.’ 7 Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance. 8 “Or what woman, having ten silver coins,[a] if she loses one coin, does not light a lamp and sweep the house and seek diligently until she finds it? 9 And when she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for
