There are 3 great parables in Matthew 25 that seem to argue that Wise people are the ones who gather to themselves and refuse to share. Our culture echoes this, but more often we find ourselves venerating people who pour themselves out rather than keep for themselves.
The Sabbath
There is recognition from our young adults that social media is both a blessing and a curse. One of the issues it causes, is a constant feeding into a sense of insecurity and over stimulation of information. So what does the church have to offer into that?
