Imagine a world where just one of the Ten Commandments was prioritized. In this case commandment 4. Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy. With just this one command society would transform. Being much more than just a break from work; this would be a chance for real connection. Every Sabbath would become a day to nurture relationships, uplift neighbors, and serve each other’s…

How do you make something holy? Trick question—you can’t. You can keep something holy, like the Sabbath. God said, “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy” (Exodus 20:8). We maintain the holiness of the 24 hours God set aside on the seventh day of creation (Genesis 2:3). But we don’t make it holy—it already is. We just keep it that way. How do you…

In Christian tradition, the shift from Sabbath observance on Saturday to worship on Sunday has deep historical roots, shaped by events and decisions of early Christian councils. The 4th-century Synod of Laodicea, especially Canon 29, declared that Christians should work on the Sabbath and honor Sunday as the Lord’s Day. Those holding onto the seventh-day Sabbath risked exclusion from the Christian community. The Council of…

The Sabbath is the memorial that reminds us each week, not only of God’s physical creation, but also of His incredible future spiritual plans for mankind. God blessed the seventh day, sanctified it, and rested on it. It is one of God’s Ten Commandments. Jesus observed the Saturday Sabbath and He is our example. Indeed, Christ said He is Lord of the Sabbath. The Bible…

The Mark of the beast as described in the book of Revelation has been a subject of wild speculation. This whiteboard video clearly lays out what it is and what it isn’t. Within the context of scripture, the mark is not something physical. It is not a vaccine, tattoo, barcode, chip, or anything else that can be forced upon someone against their will. This mark on the hand and…

The Sabbath was set aside to be a day of rest from secular work, but it is more than a day of rest. It is also a holy convocation. What is a “holy convocation”? It means a divinely commanded assembly, a summoned assembly. Hebrews 10:25 is a vital chapter of the Bible partly devoted to church attendance. Many are familiar with Paul’s words to not…

Some say that the Sabbath is just a Jewish day, or even further minimized, no longer commanded as it was nailed to the cross. Is this truly the case? The Sabbath is a part of God’s spiritual creation, not just a random day of the week. The Sabbath day is holy because it was God Himself who set the day apart from all the rest….

The shifting of the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday is quite an interesting tale to hear, especially from those that instituted the change. It’s almost a chicken or the egg scenario. Most Seventh day Sabbath keepers say Sunday worship is wrong because it was instituted by men (within the Catholic Church). The Catholic Church, on the other hand, say we changed the Sabbath, without scriptural…
Should You Recite the "Sinner’s Prayer"? – Gerald E. Weston tomorrowsworld.org
Amanda Stiver
4 years ago in Sin
The “sinner’s prayer”—a short confession of belief in the Lord Jesus and admission of sin—is often referenced and encouraged by media evangelists. Can a short confession of sin serve as an easy solution to expunging wrong behavior? Without a solid definition of sin, such a confession has little meaning. The bible definition of sin in 1 John 3:4 is straightforward, sin is the transgression of…

Galatians 4:9-10 is a favorite crutch of those who claim Christians no longer need to observe God’s holy days. Many believe that Paul reprimands the Galatians for returning to Old Testament observances that were a form of ‘bondage.’ However, Paul would never refer to instructions coming from the holy God as ‘weak and beggarly.’ In addition, the Galatians were Gentiles; they did not come from…

The Bible asks its adherents to keep the 7th day of the week (Saturday) “holy” as a time of rest and reflection on the word of God. God created the Sabbath for the benefit of human-kind from the beginning. Only He has the authority to designate what time is holy, and the Bible is clear and consistent on this instruction. Why? Because the Sabbath day…
