From Gordon MacDonald at Leadership magazine:
"What do you do in Sabbath time?" I am sometimes asked. I disappoint, I suspect, when I evade the formulaic answer. I discarded the gimmicks a long time ago. They didn't work for me. What became more important was outcomes. What do I do? Simple: whatever it takes for a renewed sense of conversion to Christ, a deeper awareness of the biblical way, an assurance that God's grace and power remain with me.When I ask many leaders if there is time in their calendars for the pursuit of such outcomes, I get these kinds of responses:
I'm just too busy.
I don't have the slightest idea what I'd do if I took the time.
My mind is too full of thought; I can't concentrate.
I'm an extrovert. Being alone, being quiet, reflecting is not my thing.
It's boring.
I don't get any immediate result out of it
