Happy Lord’s Day
Today is the Lord’s Day! Happy Lord’s Day to everyone! :) I hope you have a blessed day of worship at church today.
Exodus 20:8-10 says, “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD your God.” So in this scripture God tells us that for six days we shall work, but on the sabbath day we ought not to work, but rather set it aside as a day of rest.
I can hear it now… “What? No work? Yep, I’m all for any rules that says we don’t have to work. We need more rules like that!”
Heh-heh… :D On a more serious note, though, isn’t it so wonderful to have one day of the week where we can set aside all the other cares and affairs of our lives (including its hustles and bustles) and simply devote it for the worship and meditation of our God? God knows we need it! I’m grateful for the opportunity to reserve the Lord’s Day for the public worship, private meditation, reading, and reflecting on the things of God.
May you continue to have a blessed and wonderful Lord’s Day today!

Hi Jessica,
] The pic reminded me of an old painting that I would love to find. It is called: The Forbidden Book. It is a pic of a (Colonial or Puritan dressed) young woman looking over the shoulder of a old man at a Bible and the woman is shown with a look of surprise. This seems to indicate that they have been caught reading the forbidden book - The Bible. Hope the Lord’s Day was good to you. Enjoy the coming days and Merry Christmas.
I love the pic. I have a copy of that hanging in our dining area. I have had it for several years - [actually, I may have had it longer than you are in age. | Now that may mean I am getting old!

Hi Pastor Bruce! Good to hear from you. That’s nice to know you have this painting in your dining area. It is a nice pic indeed. I saw it in my friend’s recent blog post and really liked it. So I thought it’ll be good to use here.

Hi Chris! :welcome_js: Thanks for the visit. Well, I know there are other brothers & sisters in Christ who would disagree with me on this, but as for my understanding thus far, currently I lean toward the Sabbatarian view. I had a nice Lord’s Day this past weekend. I hope yours was a blessed one as well.
