THE HOLY SABBATH:
Keeping the Lord’s Day holy is obeying the 4th of the 10 commandments, which are commandments and not suggestions. And as Jesus states they are here until Heaven and Earth pass away (Matt 5:17-20). The church from the Book of Acts time gathered on the first day of the week, the day Jesus was resurrected, calling it the “Lord’s Day” and set it aside as their sabbath – 1 Cor 16:1-2, Acts 20:7 & Rev 1:9, keeping it holy and wholly for God in worship, giving, Bible study, church, prayer, evangelising (and not for worldly things, sports, restaurants, shopping, TV etc). This is a most neglected command today, but it was not neglected in church history. Many of the greatest revivalists and reformers in Church history preached and kept the Lord’s Day holy such as: John Wesley, DL Moody, Charles Spurgeon, David Livingston, William Wilberforce, Hudson Taylor, Charles Finney, William Booth, George Whitfield and many others who have massively impacted the church. In fact during times of revival it is highly significant that revivals where always accompanied by a renewal and revival of keeping the Sabbath day (the Lord’s day) as well.

THE LAW AND THE SAINT:
There is a great deal of deception in the present Church world regarding The Law. A.W. Pink explains a great deal of the divine role of Law – and it’s very different than the lawless interpretation of many of the current day “church” teachers. Even in Pink’s day there was already a great amount of lawlessness and deception. Pink explains:
“The term Antinomian signifies one who is against the Law. There is little need for us to pause and offer proof that this is an age of lawlessness. In every sphere of life the sad fact confronts us. In the well-nigh total absence of any real discipline in the majority of the churches, we see the principle exemplified. Not more than two generations ago, tens of thousands, of the loose-living members whose names are now retained on the membership rolls, would have been dis-fellowshipped. It is the same in the great majority of our homes. With comparatively rare exceptions, wives are no longer in subjection to their husbands (Eph. 5:22,24); and as for obeying them (1 Pet. 3:1,2,5,6), why, the majority of women demand that such a hateful word be stricken from the marriage ceremony. And what of conditions in the world? The abounding marital unfaithfulness, Sunday trading, banditry, and a dozen other things that might be mentioned, all bear witness to the frightful wave of lawlessness which is flowing over the country.”
