Episode Notes

For additional notes and resources check out Douglas’ website.

Our penultimate devotional (13 minutes) is based on "On Not Resting on Goods and Gifts" (Book 3, Chapter 21), "On Delight Above All Things" (Book 3, Chapter 34), and "On the Free Spirit" (Book 3, Chapter 26).

Scripture: Psalm 43:3-4; 55:6; 34:8; 106:45; 40:5; 19:9; 1 John 2:15; Rom 8:6; Col 3:11; Rom 6:6; Gal 5:17; Psalm 89:9; 44:26; 68:30; (Sir 36:6); Isa 26:3; Matt 6:25-34  

Application questions:

• Where am I anchored and rooted? Is my center in Christ? Our rest is in him alone.* Where are my joy and delight? Christ meets all our needs.* Am I carefree, or burdened by the things of this world? Christ invites us to simple, pure, holy living.

   

  Our final devotional offering: 

  "On Meditating Upon Death" (Book 1, Chapter 23), "On the Final Desire" (Book 3, Chapter 9), and "On the Clear Day of Eternity" (Book 3, Chapter 48)
