WORSHIP IN A MODERN WORLD
(Exodus 20: 10 – 11) But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD thy God; in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates; 11- For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day; wherefore, the LORD blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it.
HOW WOULD YOU DEFINE WORSHIP IN YOUR INDUSTRY?
Worship- “Is to quicken the conscious God, to feed the mind with the truth of God, to open up the heart to the love of God, to devote that will to the purpose of God.” (William Temple) The word “Sabbath” and “Seventh” does not come from the same original word. The Hebrew for “Sabbath” is “Shabbath” meaning “Intermission” or “Cease”… from work. “Shabbath” It means to “Repose”, or to “Desist” from exertion or to “Rest” and such rest does not have to be on the seventh day.
WHERE DO YOU PLACE WORSHIP IN THIS MODERN WORLD?
Will it be a sin against the Lord if we worship on some other days? The LORD blessed the Sabbath day. As believers we therefore must join Him so we can be blessed, and experience His blessings and be a channel of blessing. You will go where God’s blessing is and join God’s people on His Sabbath. (Hebrews 10:25)
IS WORSHIP A NECESSITY OR AN EXPRESSION OF OUR LOVE TO GOD (Exodus 20: 10)
But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
