Remember the Sabbath day and use it to keep your yard tended... No, wait, that's not it...
Remember the Sabbath day and keep it by making sure no one else is doing anything resembling work... Hmm... No, that's work, isn't it?
Remember the Sabbath day, but it's not really a big deal if we skip it for a religious retreat or some other task that says it's honoring God... Well, that SOUNDS like it's got some religious function, but is it what the LORD meant when he said that we are to CEASE on that day and that all work should be confined to six days and kept entirely out of the seventh day?
Is any of this even possible in a world that values people based on what they produce? What are we missing when we talk about Sabbath?
