“Awe takes our breath away, and a moment of wonder returns us to the childlike sensation of being small in the face of something—Someone—bigger. Awe is humbling. The absence of humility is a mark of decadence and narcissism”
― Dan B. Allender, Sabbath: The Ancient Practices

“The Sabbath is the day that holds together the beginning of time and the end; it is the intersection of the past and future that opens a window into eternity each week.”
― Dan B. Allender, Sabbath: The Ancient Practices

“We enter delight only as we gaze equally and simultaneously at creation and redemption, in spite of the darkness that surrounds us and constantly clamors to be truer than God.”
― Dan B. Allender, Sabbath: The Ancient Practices

“Many people experience time as an unruly mess that is often out of control. We need time, as if God has not allotted to us all that we are meant to have. We make time, as if we had the power to create it. We steal time, as if we could add more to our lives. We spend and use time, as if it really were a commodity.”
― Dan B. Allender, Sabbath: The Ancient Practices
