*A Short Excerpt on the Christian Sabbath*
God made man and woman, and knowing how He had made them, God established marriage for their holiness and happiness.
God did not establish an institution and then two human beings to conform to the institution.

Similarly, God made man, and *He gave the Sabbath as a blessing to man. He did not make the Sabbath and then make man* to serve the interests of the Sabbath.

- God's Sabbath rest was not the rest of weariness, but the rest of satisfaction and delight in the completion of His work.
- Be free from work on Sunday to renew your strength and to worship God. Man needs space in His life to worship God. *If man needed the Sabbath before sin came into the world, how much more does he need it now.*
Adapted from William Smith

We are not under the law as a means of justification.
We are under the law as a rule of life.

We are free from the condemnation of the law.
We are not free from the teachings of the law.

We enjoy Christian liberty in those things outside of the commandments.
Yet we are to conform our lives to the law and prophets, to the commands of Christ, and the teaching of the apostles.

Justice removed! What are kingdoms but great bands of robbers? What are bands of robbers themselves but little kingdoms?

Desperate men acquire territory, establish the seat of government, occupy cities, and subjugate people.

It is a happier thing to be the slave of a man than of a lust. This very lust of domination ("libido dominandi") lays waste men’s hearts with the most ruthless dominion and holds nations in enslavement. The lust of domination has dominion over the rulers themselves as well as the subdued nation.

By contrast, in the heavenly city, both those put in charge and those placed under them serve one another in love.

Muslims have no problem in knowing how to pray.
They are firmly instructed when to pray, on five occasions in a day, what sentences to repeat, what direction to face when they pray, and so on. They don’t ask Allah to teach them.
Orthodox Jews and Tibetan Buddhist monks are the same; they are masters of praying.
The one thing that characterizes every religion in the world is that they think they know what prayer is. The world doesn’t feel much helplessness, does it?

With Christians it is totally different. We are humbled if we’re asked about our praying. We often feel inadequate and don’t know what to pray for as we ought.
Like the anonymous disciple who asked Christ, we find ourselves saying to God, ‘Teach us to pray,’ because for us *prayer is impotence grasping at Omnipotence.* ‘How do I speak to the Maker of the cosmos, the High and Holy One who dwells in eternity, so that he hears and answers my requests?’
We take for granted the fact that Jesus answered the disciple’s request.

Once a woman, who was leaving church, said to Welsh minister Dr. Lloyd-Jones.
“Dr, Lloyd-Jones, listening to your sermons leaves me tired.”
Dr. Lloyd-Jones replied, “Well you should be because preaching leaves me exhausted.”

Sundays are not days of rest for those who preach. Sundays wear the preacher out, and leaves him feeling drained in both body and soul. Preaching is hard work, not only in its preparation, but also in its delivery.

Pray especially for your minister today!

You may have heard of David Brainerd, but have you heard of his brother John? Here are some facts about them:

▶️ David Brainerd’s entire ministry lasted only three years before his death at the age of 29.

▶️ John, David's younger brother, continued in the Gospel work for another 30 years with the same zeal and devoutness, and was buried under the church in America, with a marble slab bearing the words: ‘Beneath here moldereth the dust of the Rev. John Brainerd – died March, 1781.’

▶️ David and John were the 6th and 7th children born to Godly parents. Both parents were called to glory by the time David and John were 14 and 12 years old respectively. Their care and education were left with their older siblings in the family of 9 children.

A extract of a letter from John to David in their later years:
_Why should we sink and grow discouraged with any particular trials which we encounter in this world? Death and eternity are before us – a few more tossing billows will waft us into the world of spirits and we hope into endless pleasures and uninterrupted rest and peace. Let us, then, run with patience the race set before us. O, that we could depend more on the living God and less upon our own wisdom and strength. My dear brother, may the God of all grace comfort your heart and make you an instrument of good to His people in your day. This is the constant prayer of your affectionate brother._

Let us pray for more of such dedicated sibling pairs in the ministry!

Aren’t we told that it was the custom of Christ to be in the synagogue on the Sabbath Day? I cannot tell what ignorance and error and stupidity he heard from the speakers there during the thirty years he went each Sabbath with his family to the synagogue in Nazareth, but he knew it was his duty to be there, and he was always present. Then I shall be with the assembly of God on the Sabbath too. - Geoff Thomas
