In the words of Cars lead singer Rick Ocasek—Summer, it turns me upside down. Summer, summer, summer, it’s like a merry-go-round. Ok, so not everyone grew up in the ’80s. Let me try again, this time in the words of Pastor John Piper—Don’t let summer make your soul shrivel.

Summer. Who doesn’t love summer? I do! Vacations, leisure, relaxation and memories galore make summer, well, summer. But with all the fun and good things this time of year brings, it presents a real temptation to shrink back in our intimacy with Christ and commitment to His church. If we are not intentional, summer can turn us upside down spiritually, leaving our souls parched and shriveled.
