Episode 199: About Sabbath - What Does “Keeping It Holy” Mean For Us Today?

It seems clear from the commandment that at least part of what “keeping Sabbath” means has to do with the day being “different” from the other days of the week. Six are designed for working, and one designed for rest. Paul says the law is good, and that we are not “under the law," so how does this relate to Sabbath? 

One of our #WholeLifeTakeAways this week asked:  How has this time of “social distancing” affected your thoughts about Sabbath? About corporate worship? About fellowship?

So, how have these last few weeks changed your thoughts about Sabbath, worship, and fellowship?  As always we'll take your questions, your answers, or comments on something we said, didn’t say, or how you feel about the subject discussed in this week’s episode.  You can leave us your insights by using one of the following:
