According to scripture it is a day of rest and reflection on the Lord. It is also one of the 10 Commandments. We as a nation have fallen away from teaching or keeping this one commandment. How many of us can truthfully say, we keep the Sabbath? Refrain from doing regular things, working for our selves, how many of us honor the Lord on the sabbath by meditating on Him.

We Christians teach our kids:
Honor the Lord,   Don't worship idols,   Don't worship any other god but HIM,   Don't use His name in vain,   Honor your father and mother,   Don't murder,   Don't commit adultery,   Don't steal,   Don't lie about people,   Don't covet other people things,  

But never about keeping the Sabbath. At least this is what I remember growing up.

What we need is another Nehemiah to open the ears of the people


Let me know your thoughts..........I am still studying on this.....
