And God Blessed the Sabbath

I would assert to you this morning that you may see what the true state of Christianity is, in any society or any country, by whether or not the Sabbath is kept, or how it is not kept. Is there rest from worldly labors? Is there a love to go up to the House of the Lord? Is there a sanctifying of the day in the hearts of God's people? All of these things are very important to God. So the question that we are asking this morning is this; In what ways does God bless and sanctify the Sabbath day to His people and to all men? He would show us why it is so important and why so necessary.
