Leisure and Relaxation as Modern Idols

JOHN F. MACARTHUR
I Corinthians
Macarthur New Testament Commentary

"Leisure and relaxation are two great modern idols, to which many Christians seem quite willing to bow down. In proper proportion recreation and diversions can help restore our energy and increase our effectiveness. But they also can easily become ends in themselves, demanding more and more of our attention, concern, time, and energy. More than one believer has relaxed and hobbied himself completely out of the work of the Lord."
