The gospel makes us Christians, not ascetics. Jesus Christ did not die and rise for you so that you would stress out about whether you're being spiritual enough. So take a nap. Go for a walk in the woods. Play with your kids. Eat some chocolate. Watch a good movie. Christian, you are free.Parents of young children know what a chore chart is. It is how we assign chores to each child and how we remind them of these chores. Sometimes we organize the chart according to a child's age, aptitude, and interest. Different chores go in different columns.The tyranny of hyperspirituality pictures the Christian life like a chore chart. But the gospel frees you to rest.
