Both actions are a "protest against the servitude of work and the worship of money." In obeying this commandment, we put aside our to-do lists for one day (Guess what? The list will still be there on Monday...), and we enjoy the beauty of creation as we deepen our relationship with God and others. Who doesn't want to take a mini-vacation each week?! Well, God commands it because He knows we need it and that it will make us happy - not just in the next life, but here and now. This podcast is powered by Pinecast.
