The commandment, the first one dealing with mans activities within the world, is keep holy tge sabbath.

Driving through town I am sometimes amazed yo see so much retail going on. I still fr Percy things to be quiet, stores closed as it was whe I was a kid. It was normal. People ignore God for commanding a day of rest and of devotion to the creator
We look at birth control and abortion as the evil causing all this
I’m not so sure that blowing off tge sabbath is so lacking in consequences
I’m not so sure that blowing off the sabbath is so lacking in consequences
Doing has no value to God, He does not want our sacrifices and offerings and doing, he wants our hearts.
If He has our hearts he has us completely.
Some honor God one day, some another, some everyday is the Sabbath.
Jesus worked on the Sabbath and also rested on the Sabbath.
What is on our hearts with every thought? OUch..............
Birth control and abortion are not the cause of the evil in this world.
They are among the symptoms of the evil, not the cause of it.
