I remember when I was really young. My grandparents were Christians and just really godly, godly

folk and I remember I probably was, I don't know, nine or ten years old, and they made a reference to the

Sabbath.

And I had no idea what that was, and then as years went by, I kind of, you know, filled in some pieces. I wasn't

raised a Christian. I wasn't raised religious, but my picture of this the Sabbath was this day where you were really

pious and you didn't do anything fun you kind of just stayed at home and just in a wool suit. Yeah, just abstained from things.

What do you think most people's picture of what God is commanding us to do there, you know, a

Sabbath. What do you think most people's picture of a rest a Sabbath is?

Craig, I mean I don't know what most people's are,

but mine is very similar to yours.

It's like, run from that.

You know, it just doesn't sound like anything enjoyable. Anything that you would like to do, anything that is in the area

of desire, it's just drudgery yeah and denial of fun and regular life and something that's

supposed to be pious something that's supposed to be pious, something that's supposed to be religious.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Sounds like a lot of work to me.

You work on being pious on the Sabbath.

Well, welcome to the Ransom Heart Podcast.
