Should Christians keep the Sabbath?
Well, understanding the Sabbath can have a big impact on your faith. While most of us don’t remember the Sabbath and keep it holy, knowing what the Sabbath is in the Bible is important.
Here’s a short video to explain.
Do you remember to take a day of rest, or do you think Christians don’t need to bother with the Sabbath?
Love this! This is one of the best and most concisely explained teachings on the sabbath I have ever heard! Thank you! I needed that today!
I found you when you commented on my IG @carolinej
So glad you liked it Caroline!
Thanks. I never eeally understood the Sabbath.
Q: what happens when you are so low and have to provide for you family that you work every day and the only day off is Sunday? Can Sunday be me Sabbath? Workship is up to 1:00, sometimes 1:30 then we go home and complete school work and/or job-related work. It’s not 24 hours, can it count towards the Sabbath? Thanks
I think it counts. We all need to start somewhere … and work toward 24 hours.
Dave,
Wow. I am on retreat today. I googled “Where is God when it hurts.” I have an 18 year old son who is broken and burdened and and finding God distantly painful right now. I went to youtube looking for a video for us to watch together. I knew I needed to pick the shortest one. Through this, I found you, a powerful glimpse of the One you love and follow, and the wisdom He has give you to share. Then explored your website. A gift from God for my day today. My name is Brenda and I have been “Following His Stops” for 27 years. At first, kicking and screaming. In time, captivated and transformed. I have 5 kids…3 through the miracle of adoption. 4 have significant special needs…medical, mental health, behavioral. I have spent 320+nights in the hospital with them and one is is Hospice Care right now. If God had not gotten a hold of my heart with THIS GIFT, THIS Grace of His Presence, my bucket would have been perpetually dry and I would have self-destructed a long time ago. Can I share you video with others? I lead a ministry that lives at http://www.RunHardRestWell.com As God’s people we know how to run hard. We don’t know how to rest well, and because of this all things suffer … Kingdom Work, relationships, health, joy, hope. Without Sabbath Rest, these things live in “less than” mode and we miss out on so very much. Grateful! I have found a new friend in you and your ministry. Onward. Eyes on Jesus! Run Hard. Rest Well.

Hi Dave, I have been “remembering the Sabbath Day to keep it holy” for years now, and it has been the biggest blessing spirit, soul, and body. I pray, read the Bible, study the Bible, “feast”, read spiritual books, write Scripture, worship in song, enjoy God’s Creation, give the Gospel or “minister” to people as God gives me opportunities, etc. It has caused me to grow so much. Sets my heart, mind, and body for another week of seeking to glorify Him in whatever needs to be done in general life. I wouldn’t trade it for anything! So glad you are trying to promote obedience to it. People have no idea what they are missing in dismissing God’s Command about this!
