“I really appreciate the life you’re living, loudly for the Lord. I was listening to your sabbath podcast and your reasoning for talking about your family legacy on that day was from scriptures. I think we have to first look at what God says about His sabbath day to know why we are commanded to keep it and then to know HOW we are to keep it. I highly highly recommend the Westminster Confession and the Catechism to help you and your family better understand God’s plan for the day. There’s a specific day to Sabbath, there are specific activities we are ordered to do and not to do and it’s all spelled out in His word. Yes, the Lord wants us to remember our heritage and give honor to those who have gone before us, but not for us. We’re supposed to be using it as a sounding board to talk about the Lord and what He has done. Not just for the ancestors we can name and have picture of but of our spiritual heritage which is found in His word. The Israelites are our heritage as Christian’s and the works done by the Lord concerning them should be on our lips on the sabbath. The promises he gives us, the ones we can see fulfilled and the ones yet to come. The hope we can have in them because we can see who He is in His word. The Lord commands us to keep the sabbath Holy. It’s part of the moral law, and according to where it appears in there (4th) we can know that the Lord finds this command about sabbath keeping to be more important to remember and keep than the commands that follow about honoring father and mother, not stealing, lying, adultery, murdering and coveting. It’s more important because it directly concerns Him and His glory. Our family has been keeping the sabbath for 4 years now and I can tell you without a doubt that it’s been a huge huge blessing for our family. The puritans liked to refer to it as “A market day for the soul” where you gather all the goods you’ll need for your soul. Where you can refresh what the week has worn down. A foretaste of heaven, fellowshipping amongst the saints.”
