How a Saint Spends a Sabbatical

"So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God."
1 Corinthians 10:31

In this article, Pastor John Piper explains how he spent his 5-month sabbatical. I was encouraged in a number of ways to learn how a father in the faith, a mature man in Christ, spent his time off. Check it out for real-life examples of:

• family worship
• personal devotion
• Godward sightseeing
• thankfulness to God and others (and God for others)
  
• a God-centered view of history
• a God-centered, church-helping view of scholarship and writing
• balanced reading across many genres
  
• dates with the wife and time with the family
  

Many would consider a sabbatical to be a vacation. It wasn't for Pastor John; he didn't waste his sabbatical.
