  • Summary

  • After being convicted and questioning church traditions regarding the sabbath, Pamela was led to study the Scriptures. She waited years for Ben to catch up. Their pastor was steadfastly holding the line that the church fathers had the authority to create new traditions by moving worship from Sabbath to Sunday.Once they saw the beauty of the 7th day in practice, they also saw how much of scripture, including all future prophecy and the return on Messiah was keyed to the 7th day Sabbath. By practicing this discipline, they realized that they were truly walking like Messiah walked. Accepting the reality that they were grafted into an ancient culture, observing the 7th day, and not simply drifting through the ways of the world.After this discovery and for over 15 years, they have been blessed by coming together with their children and grandchildren. They have been able to honor the Father as a family together without the busy schedule of jobs and tasks to interfere. It has created a unified family value that’s extended down two generations, and even up one, to Pamela’s mother. So, four generations are affected and blessed, based on this one simple act of obedience.Shabbat becomes the set-in stone finish line for each week. This creates a rhythm to their lives that is set and focused on obedience and promised blessings. When the sun sets on Friday, they don’t have to remind or coerce anyone to cease our striving. They have been expecting and desiring that moment for six long days. As a family, they have chosen to keep things simple (paper plates) and not ritualistic (no candles). It’s more of an organic embrace of the day, rather than a “religious” event.If you have never celebrated the sabbath, think on this: Messiah said he was the Lord of the Sabbath. And 1 John 2:6 says, “whoever claims to abide in Him must walk just as He walked.” (What else could discipleship even mean?) This simple act of obedience will unlock blessings and understanding that simply reading scripture can never produce. Faith requires action, and ironically there’s no action more Holy than resting.
