"Sabbath" is a biblical word and concept meaning "to stop" or "to cease." My church community began a new series yesterday exploring the biblical concept of sabbath. I asked my church to acknowledge if they led crazy and chaotic lives that were costing them in some way. I think everyone raised a hand in acknowledgment - including myself.
We just don't get it. As Jesus-followers we often have the "right answers" - but our living is often, very often, out of sync. Not pointing fingers - I'm the worst.
God help us. How will we ever know God if we don't heed the call to stop and know Him?
Psalm 46:10 'Be still and know that I am God.'

There is a Sunday conscience as well as a Sunday coat; and those who make religion a secondary concern put the coat and conscience carefully by to put on only once a week. - Charles Dickens
We're John & Shauna, the parents of 4 kids (yes - we're outnumbered). We're trying to intentionally have GREAT FAMILY NIGHTS with our kids in order to help them learn and live some things we feel are so important. Our desire is to share ideas in order that you might have some GREAT FAMILY NIGHTS, too!

A sign that I read at a church....A hypocrit is not himself on Sunday's.
