Quotes: Walt Chantry on the Christian Sabbath

Is 2-3 hours long enough to call it a Lord’s Day?  Why would a Christian need to set aside a whole day?  Why would a Christian want to set aside a whole day?  Walt Chantry has a wonderful answer.

“If a Christian takes a bit of time on the Sabbath for private Bible reading and prayer, if he is faithful in public worship on God’s holy day, if time is spent teaching his children God’s Word, time preparing and teaching a Bible lesson, time visiting the sick and poor in Jesus’ name, time witnessing to a friend, time fellowshipping with the saints, time singing praises to God - soon the day seems all too short for the spiritually minded. There is so much to do for God in private, in the family, in the church. There is so much to do in worship and praise. It is a holy day, different from the other six. It is devoted to the Lord in his worship and service.”
