Are you tired of the never ending push to more and more activity? The Sabbath is God’s vehicle to provide for all of God’s beings much needed rest. Listen as Elder Cox talks about the Sabbath as permission to just stop.
When Sabbatarians speak about the Sabbath, they often defend the correct day. Sometimes they speak about the correct way to keep the Sabbath, but we often neglect the Spiritual power that comes to the Christian.
In this audio, Elder Cox, talks about the Sabbath and how it points you to victory.

Did you know that our doctrines are so Christ centered that we need not preach them [...]
In the last days, Revelation 13 paints the picture of a beast that rises out of the sea and a beast that rises out of the Land. These beasts seek to overtake the people of God by forcing all the world to obey their dictates. The beast that comes out of the Land even causes fire to come down from heaven as it seeks to add divine authority to its dictates. This symbolizes a “false” revival that seems to attempt to replay the test given on the Mount by Elijah that the God who is really God should cause fire to come down from heaven.
It is with sadness that I report what many of you already know that Dr. Samuel Bachiocchi has died. Dr. Bacchiocchi was an interesting scholar, his writings were not confined to the libraries of the academically gifted, but was taken to common people. Certainly his writings were not “dumbed-down,” but they were accessible to many.

Exodus 16:21-26
To morrow is the rest of the holy sabbath unto the LORD
It is sometimes argued that the Sabbath was instituted at Sinai, but here is unequivocal Biblical evidence that the Sabbath was instituted before the commandments were given. As we have noted, it was instituted at creation itself.
On the Sabbath we are free to live in the coming Kingdom rather than being constrained by the current one. On that day we lay aside all that will stand in the way of living in the Kingdom of God. This will require knowledge of what the Kingdom of God truly is. To live in this day correctly one must contemplate God’s intention for humanity and the world.
Genesis 2:1-3
Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
The first chapter of Genesis provides a fitting backdrop for the institution of the Sabbath day. Here the scripture tells us that the containers were finished (heavens and the earth) and the inhabitants of the containers were finished (host of them). It is then that the Sabbath is created.
And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made;and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made
As we encounter another Sabbath day, I encourage you once again to keep the Sabbath as a day to set aside the things of this side of the Jordan so that you can more fully interact with family, community, and God. When we do this, we can truly begin to see the other side and more fully partake of the blessings of eternity.
