He challenged us by saying that the Sabbath was not list as a day of worship every week in the OT, but a day of rest. He said the Sabbath had feasts on them (usually beginning and/or ending them), but the focus was rest. He also said that we don't get much rest when we have worship on Sunday mornings instead of the evening before (like the traditional Jews did it). I would have to totally agree. Sunday mornings are anything but restful.<br /><br />Anyway, for now we don't do Sunday School. For several reasons. One of them is that it adds too much 'unrest'.<br /><br />I love how you are thinking this through, but love it even more that you are doing it through Scripture. <br /><br />Wish I could have stopped and said hello as we drove through Waco to the conference. ;-) I'll post about it as soon as I rest up.Grateful for Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11429985486466317061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-241015727166245068.post-72014578117032063872010-10-12T20:23:18.226-05:002010-10-12T20:23:18.226-05:00I believe that we should honor God with our lives ...I believe that we should honor God with our lives each and every day, but the Sabbath was originally designed by God for our rest after a full week of work. So while we worship and go to SS on Sundays (or Saturdays) our job is to get the R&R that God provides for us.<br /><br />Just some thoughts that came to mind...<br /><br />Barb :)Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13222556549433673988noreply@blogger.com
