The Lie You Believe About Rest!

There is a new baseball field built out here by my house.

It's probably a mile and a half from me.

There's a baseball field that was built and it just got finished.

And every Sunday on the way to church, about 8.30 in the morning, Amber and I pass by this field and it's absolutely slammed with cars.

You can't put another car in there.

And everyone is going in.

Who's speaking? Yeah.

It makes you wonder when this...

I wrote a little bit about this in Poison in the Well, but it's all over the U.S.

I can't speak globally.

I'm sure that it's at different levels globally, but it's all over the U.S. And so part of this conversation could be what happened to Sundays because just 100 years ago, I would say, and every year before that, Sundays were kept for the Lord.

Sundays were kept for the church gathering, for families, for food.

Stores were closed.

And then you go back another 200 years.

So go back into the 18th century, and they're keeping Sunday as the Sabbath.

Like the Jews would keep Saturday as the Sabbath.

They're keeping it.

They're not gathering sticks on that day.

That's how serious they're taking this.

So fast forward to us now, and here we are going full speed ahead, and not only are we working on Sundays as Christians, but we're also skipping the gathering, which is a sin, according to Hebrews 10.

So we're not gathering with the local body, sinfully, Hebrews 10.

Again, I said that twice just in case it passed somebody.

And we speak as ones that were of this same mentality for most of my life.

So I remember being in that mentality.

And you use Sunday to do everything else you can and especially play sports.
