Greetings all!

I have enjoyed the posts on the sabbath.  I have heard and spoke with many
people that hold that when the church begins to observe the sabbath and other
old testiment ordinances that were instituted for the people and not for the
sacrifice, that we will see a great move of God.

I on the other hand do not believe that God expects us to adhere to or follow
after the law or OT traditions.

But,..... I do believe God would honor us to observe the sabbath out of
respect to him.  
I dont see a problem in someone using this day as a day of Honor unto God.

Much like personal convictions, they are good and special, but we should not
inforce this upon others.

Some things are not just personal convictions, but bible doctorine.  These
are not relegated as personal convictions, but should be taught and adhered
to in the church.

Back to the sabbath,  One thing I know about it is that it is the Seventh
day, God rested on the Seventh day, he sanctified the seventh day.  

If today was saturday, I guess I would refrain from mowing the yard, raking
the leaves, washing the car, changing the oil, washing the dishes, ect ect.
 Of coarse my wife would know what my motivations would be................

Salvation is in Jesus Christ who is the fullfillment of the law, the answer
to prayers, and the fullfillment of phophecy.  He is our rest, our peace, and
hope.  We should do what our 


(Rom 8:1-2)  There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in
Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. {2} For the
law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of
sin and death.



God Bless YOU all
