By Mike Glenn I remember summer. The three months between the end of May when school would let out and September when school would begin again. We didn't have any projects to do. We didn't have books to read. Sure, we read books, but we read the books we wanted to read. We didn't read any books teachers made us read.
God bless you for writing this, for writing it so clearly and persuasively! By God’s Grace, I WILL take a sabbath rest this Sunday. By God’s Grace, I will even leave my God-blessed phone on the charger and NOT take it to church with me and NOT even look at it until Monday!
You know that I meant to write something other than “God-blessed” when I referred to my God-blessed phone just now, but I didn’t want to inject the more accurate expletive in the midst of stating my good and Godly intentions! I trust that God noticed and will bless ME for my restraint and obedience. 😇
Why would we not keep the 7th day Sabbath? The creation narrative is clear not to Jews but to all His creation to rest on the seventh day. In the heart of the Ten Commandments is the 4th commandment that tells us to remember the Sabbath. N.T. Is full of Sabbath meetings being on the seventh day. I’ve kept Sabbath for 40 yrs, every Sabbath is truly a gift. I don’t have to do anything to make that day special because God Himself has made it special. Thank you for bringing this up for discussion.

Thank you Mike. I am learning to do “ not a thing “ on my days off.

Someone (don't know who) defined Sabbath as resting from whatever worries you. Love this.
