Sabbath Unkeeping

The breaking of the observance of Sabbath, which, according to Scripture and Jewish tradition, begins from sunset on Friday to sunset on Saturday (Most Evangelicals and Catholics choose Sunday to be Sabbath in the celebration of the Resurrection of Christ). Observance of Sabbath, set aside by God as different from the other days of the week, requires the ceasing of work and activities that hinder the worship owed to God; it brings revitalization and restoration of the spirit of obedient believers to prepare for the tasks during the other six days of the week. One should do no work if possible, and spend the day praising, contemplating, growing, worshiping and learning Scripture with their focus upon the Lord and His things.(Fourth Commandment Violation, Exodus 20:8-11)
