01:56 MOST SACRED TRUST AND HE HAS GIVEN THAT TRUST TO US.

07:53 >> David: AMEN. THANK YOU FOR THAT BEAUTIFUL
07:59 SONG. HAVE YOU BEEN ENJOYING 3ABN CAMP
08:03 MEETING? THE LAW OF LIBERTY AND LOVE AND
08:12 I WAS SITTING IN THE BANG LISTENING TO THE SERMON BY
08:15 PASTOR RYAN DAY. PRAISE THE LORD FOR THE SABBATH.
08:19 WHAT A BLESSING IT IS THAT WE HAVE AS A COMMUNITY OF FAITH TO
08:23 GATHER TOGETHER AND WORSHIP THE LORD IN SPIRIT AND TRUTH.
08:25 OUR TOPIC THIS MORNING IS ON THE EXPERIENCE OF THE SABBATH.
08:31 I INVITE YOU TO BOW YOUR HEADS WITH ME.
08:36 OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN, LORD, WE THANK YOU FOR THE WORDS OF THAT
08:41 SONG. OUR HEARTS ARE FILLED WITH JOY
08:49 AND APPRECIATION FOR WHAT YOU THE LOVE OF GOD, WE WANT TO MAKE

09:15 MAY JESUS BE UPLIFTED, CHRIST BE SEEN.
09:19 MAY THE HOLY SPIRIT APPLY THE TRUTHS SPECIFICALLY TO OUR
09:23 HEARTS THAT WE NEED. WE ASK THESE THINGS IN THE
09:26 PRECIOUS NAME OF JESUS. AMEN.
09:34 PHOTOGRAPH OF A SCULPTURE THAT WAS CRAFTED BY ARGUABLY ONE OF
09:40 THE GREATEST ARTIST IN HISTORY, MICHAEL ANGELO.
09:52 RESIDES IN THE ST. PETER BASILICA IN ROME.
09:57 ITALIAN RENAISSANCE. MASTERPIECE.
10:09 SCULPTURE, IT IS SAID THAT HE OVERHEARD ANOTHER GENTLEMAN THAT
10:19 HIS ADMIRATION, ATTRIBUTED MICHAEL ANGELO'S MASTERPIECE TO
10:28 ANOTHER RIVAL ARTIST. AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, THIS DID NOT
10:34 SIT WELL WITH MICHAEL ANGELO. THEY SAID, I'M GOING TO DO
10:38 SOMETHING ABOUT THAT. NO ONE EVER HAS A
10:42 MISUNDERSTANDING ABOUT THE STATUE.
10:51 HIS CHISEL AND HE CHISELED AWAY. NEXT PICTURE HERE OF WHAT HE
10:56 CHISELED ON THE SASH OF THIS STATUE.
11:06 IT SAID, MICHAEL ANGELO MADE IT. THIS IS THE ONLY STATUE THAT HE
11:20 EVER SIGNED. IT IRKED HIM SO MUCH THAT HIS
11:24 STATUE, HIS MASTERPIECE WAS ATTRIBUTED TO ANOTHER ARTIST.
11:28 HE WENT BACK WITH A CHISEL. HE SAID, MICHAEL ANGELO MADE IT.
11:39 WHEN AN ARTIST COMPLETES SOMETHING, MANY TIMES THEY SIGN
11:45 IT. ME IN YOUR BIBLES TO THE
11:49 BEGINNING OF THE BIBLE, GENESIS 2:1-3.
11:58 TALK ABOUT GOD'S SIGNATURE AFTER GOD CREATES THE EARTH IN SIX
12:07 CONSECUTIVE DAYS. SIX LITERAL CONTIGUOUS, 24-HOUR
12:15 PERIODS LIKE WE EXPERIENCE TODAY.
12:18 IN OUR OWN COMMUNITY OF FAITH THAT ARE DOUBTING THE LITERAL
12:24 NATURE OF GENESIS 1 AND 2. THEY SAY, WE CAN'T TAKE GENESIS
12:30 LITERALLY. PREHISTORIC MINDS UNDERSTAND THE
12:36 NATURE OF CREATION. THEY DIDN'T UNDERSTAND MODERN
12:40 SCIENCE AND BIOLOGY LIKE THEY DO TODAY.
12:45 DIFFERENT ONE WHEN IT COMES TO GENESIS 1.
12:49 IF YOU UNDERSTAND ANYTHING ABOUT HEBREW, THERE'S ONLY WAY TO
12:55 UNDERSTAND GENESIS 1. THAT IS LITERALLY.
12:58 THESE ARE 24-HOUR PERIOD. NOT BILLIONS OF YEARS.
13:03 WE ARE SEVENTH DAY ADVENTISTS. IN OTHER WORDS, WE BELIEVE THAT
13:07 SOMETHING HAPPENED ON THE SEVENTH DAY THAT WAS A MEMORIAL
13:11 OF THE PREVIOUS SIX DAYS. I HAVE A PASSION AND BURDEN
13:15 ABOUT THIS BECAUSE I WAS SITTING WITH AN INDIVIDUAL, YOU'RE
13:19 SAYING, GENESIS 1 CANNOT BE TAKEN L LITERALLY.
13:24 I SAID, FRIEND, WHY DO WE KEEP THE SABBATH?
13:32 DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE. WHY DO WE KEEP THE SABBATH EVERY
13:38 SEVEN DAYS? IT'S A PREVIOUS SIX WERE
13:42 BILLIONS OF YEARS. IT WOULD MAKE MORE SENSE TO KEEP
13:49 THE SABBATH AS A MEMORIAL ONCE EVERY 70.
13:55 IF YOU WILL DO IT, IT KEEP THE SABBATH EVERY SEVEN DAYS,
14:01 THERE'S NO REASON TO BE A SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST IF YOU
14:06 DON'T BELIEVE THAT GENESIS 1 IS LITERAL.
14:12 SOME PEOPLE HAVE TRIED TO MELD DARWINIAN EVOLUTION WITH THE
14:23 BIBLE. EVEN THE ATHEIST WILL TELL YOU
14:29 THAT. ABOUT THIS BECAUSE OUR
14:33 FOUNDATIONAL PILLARS ARE UNDER ATTACK TODAY.
14:39 SOMETHING AS FUNDAMENTAL AND FOUNDATIONAL, SEVENTH DAY
14:44 ADVENTIST IS UNDERMINED EVEN IN OUR INSTITUTIONS.
14:53 GENESIS 2. THE SEVENTH DAY, GOD ENDED HIS
14:59 WORK WHICH HE HAD DONE. HE RESTED ON THE SEVENTH DAY
15:03 FROM ALL HIS WORK WHICH HE HAD DONE AND THEN BLESSED THE
15:08 SEVENTH DAY AND SANC SANCTITIED IT. GOD IN SIX DAYS CREATES A
15:23 MASTERPIECE. HE FORMS IT IN SIX DAYS.
15:34 AS GOD LOOKS BACK ON HIS MASTERPIECE, HE SAYS, YOU KNOW
15:43 WHAT I'M GOING TO SIGN IT. I'M GOING TO SIGN THIS
15:49 MASTERPIECE JUST LIKE MICHAEL ANGELO SIGNS HIS.
15:56 MISUNDERSTANDING AS TO WHO THE CREATOR IS.
16:08 MARVELOUS CREATION THAT HE FORMED.
16:14 PLACE. LOCATION, I'M GOING TO SANE IT
16:21 IN -- SIGN IT IN TIME. PRAISE GOD.
16:28 CAN YOU IMAGINE EVERY SEVEN DAYS IMAGINE IF IT'S JERUSALEM, WE
16:34 BE IN THAT HOLY PLACE. GOD SAID I'M GOING TO SIGN IT IN
16:42 TIME. I HAVE IN ALASKA.
16:59 SOMEBODY IN THE BACK SAID PASTOR, IS IT WARM THERE?
17:03 PEOPLE THRILL ALASKA IS AN ICEBOX.
17:09 IT IS COLD, I MOVED FROM MICHIGAN.
17:13 THAN IN MICHIGAN. BEAUTIFUL PLACE.
17:21 PARADISE. LITTLE BIT JET LAG HERE.
17:27 IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU LIVE IN AN ANCHORAGE, ALASKA OR RUSSIA,
17:37 THIS HOLY WAVE THAT GOD INSTITUTED COMES OVER YOU EVERY
17:42 SEVEN DAYS, A TEMPLE IN TIME WHICH IS A MEMORIAL OF THE
17:50 CREATION. TIME THIS EVENING.
17:54 THAT HOLY WAVE COMES OVER US AND GOD SIGNED IT IN TIME.
18:01 HIS OWN SIGNATURE. HE BLESSED IT, HE RESTED AND HE
18:07 SANCTIFIED IT WHEN YOU LOOK AT IT IN THE HEBREW, GENESIS 2, 2
18:14 AND 3 ON THE SEVENTH DAY GOD FINISHED HIS WORK WHICH HE HAD
18:19 DONE, SEVENTH WORD IN THE HEBREW.
18:22 FROM ALL HIS WORK WHICH HE HAD DONE.
18:27 GOD BLESSED THE SEVENTH DAY AND MADE IT HOLY.
18:32 SEVEN WORDS IN THE HEBREW. DO YOU THINK GOD IS TRYING TO
18:35 MAKE A POINT HERE? SEVEN WORDS IN THE HEBREW.
18:45 WHEN YOU LOOK AT THIS LITERARY STRUCTURE OF THE CREATION STORY,
18:51 YOU HAVE DAY ONE, DAY TWO, DAY THREE, DAY FOUR, FIVE, SIX.
18:57 WHEN IT COMES TO THE SEVENTH DAY IN GENESIS 2, IT SAYS THE
19:05 SEVENTH DAY. ALL THE OTHER DAYS ARE MENTIONED
19:13 ONCE. IN THE HEBREW MIND WHEN THEY
19:20 WANTED TO EMPHASIZE SOMETHING BEING IMPORTANT, THEY WOULD
19:23 REPEAT IT TWICE. HERE THE SEVENTH DAY IS
19:30 EMPHASIZED THREE TIMES. THE ONLY DAY THAT IS REPEATED IS
19:35 REPEATED NOT TWICE BUT THREE TIMES.
19:41 THIS IDEA AND THIS NOTION THAT THE SEVENTH DAY IS COMMON IS
19:49 IRRATIONAL FROM A BIBLICAL GOD SAYING, THERE'S SOMETHING
19:53 UNIQUE ABOUT THE SEVENTH DAY. IT IS DIFFERENT THAN ALL OF THE
19:59 OTHER DAYS IT BY THE WAY, AS WAS ILLUSTRATED IN OUR PREVIOUS
20:04 PRESENTATION, THIS DAY WAS NOT INSTITUTED FOR THE JEWS ALONE.
20:09 ADAM AND EVE, I HAVE NEWS FOR YOU FRIENDS, WE'RE NOT JEWS.
20:14 CONTRARY TO POPULAR OPINION, THE JEWS CAME A LOT LATER.
20:20 HUNDREDS OF YEARS LATER. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY WERE.
20:24 THEY WERE THE ORIGINAL. THE REAL THING.
20:37 HERE THEY ARE IN CREATION. WITNESSING ANY OF GOD'S
20:43 CREATION. ADAM DIDN'T EVEN SEE GOD CREATE
20:48 EVE. THEY JUST WOKE UP AND IT WAS
20:55 THERE THEY HAD TO BELIEVE GOD'S WORD.
21:01 WORDED. OKAY.
21:13 IT'S FAITH. CREATED ALL THIS.
21:18 OKAY. WHAT WERE THEY RESTING FROM?
21:28 THEY HAVEN'T DONE A THING. THEY WERE RESTING IN HIS WORK.
21:36 COME ON NOW. BY THE WAY, WHEN YOU REST ON THE
21:42 SEVENTH DAY, YOU'RE RESTING IN HIS WORK.
21:47 SOME PEOPLE SAY THAT THE SEVENTH DAY SABBATH IS LEGALISM.
21:51 THAT'S CONTRARY. RIGHTEOUSNESS.
22:03 REST IN GOD. EXODUS 20:8-11.
22:13 ONLY COMMANDMENT THAT BEGINS THE ONE EVERYONE TELLING US TO
22:17 FORGET. IT'S SO COUNTERINTUITIVE
22:23 FRIENDS. GENESIS 2, GOD MAKES IT HOLY.
22:30 IN EXODUS, WE ARE TO KEEP IT HOLY.
22:37 ALL YOUR WORKS BUT SABBATH DAY IS THE SABBATH AND LORD YOUR GOD
22:42 IN. AND SEA AND ALL THAT IS IN THEM
22:46 AND RESTED THE SABBATH DAY. THEREFORE THE LORD BLESSED THE
22:50 SABBATH DAY AND MADE IT HOLY. KEY OBSERVATIONS I WANT TO MAKE
22:55 HERE. ACCORDING THESE VERSUS, YOU
23:02 DON'T WORK. THAT'S HOW YOU KEEP A DAY HOLY.
23:06 YOU DON'T WORK. YOU REST FROM SECULAR LABOR.
23:10 SOME PEOPLE SAY, PASTOR, I KEEP EVERY DAY HOLY.
23:15 WE ARE LIVE HOLY LIVES BY THE GRACE OF GOD.
23:18 IN ORDER TO KEEP A DAY HOLY, NEED TO REST FROM YOUR SECULAR
23:24 LABOR. INDUSTRIOUS AND WE ARE TO WORK.
23:34 A STORY ABOUT A MAN TAKEN TO CONCENTRATION CAMP, COMMUNIST
23:42 RUSSIA, SABBATH KEEPER . THEY DAYS.
23:50 NIGHT, SUN DOWN SATURDAY EVENING, I'M NOT WORKING.
23:55 THEY TOOK HIM PUTT HIM IN A HOLE IN THE GROUND.
24:01 THE NEXT MONTH. HE PERSISTED IN HIS STAND FOR
24:05 THE SABBATH. FINALLY, HE HAD A CONVERSATION
24:07 WITH THE HEAD OF THAT CONCENTRATION CAMP.
24:12 HEAD OF THAT CAMP SAID, IF YOU CAN GET ALL YOUR WORK DONE IN
24:16 SIX DAYS, YOU CAN REST ON THE SEVENTH.
24:21 THE MAN SAID GREAT, YOU ARE TO PROVIDE WATER FOR THE ENTIRE
24:26 CAMP. OX IS TO HAUL WATER FROM THE
24:33 RIVER BACK AND FORTH. THEY SAID THAT'S A DEAL.
24:36 DAY ONE HE GETS OUT THERE, THIS OX IS SO SLOW.
24:46 LIKE A SNAIL. GET THIS DONE.
24:50 HE GOES DOWN TO THE RIVER, COME BACK, I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY
24:57 HE SAY NO WAY. DAY SIX SOMETHING HAPPENED.
25:03 THAT OX GOT UP THAT MORNING INFUSED WITH ENERGY.
25:10 HE SAID THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG THIS OX.
25:16 RIVER BACK AND FORTH. NOT ONLY DID HE BRING WATER FOR
25:19 THAT DAY BUT HE BROUGHT WATER FOR THE NEXT DAY.
25:22 WHICH WAS THE SABBATH. PRAISE GOD.
25:28 THAT MAN SAID I DON'T KNOW HE HAD THE SABBATH OFF.
25:33 MAYBE IT WAS A FLUKE. ON DAY SIX THAT OX GOT UP, BOLT
25:41 OF ENERGY. LIKE LIGHTNING WENT DOWN TO THAT
25:44 RIVER AND FOR THE ENTIRE TIME THAT MAN WAS IN THAT
25:49 CONCENTRATION CAMP, THAT OX HELPED HIM TO KEEP THE SABBATH
25:54 HOLY. AMEN.
25:57 [APPLAUSE] I GET NO ROYALTIES IT'S CALLED
26:07 "MIRACLE OF THE SEVENTH DAY OX" WOW.
26:16 HE WANTS TO SPEND THAT TIME WITH YOU ON THE SABBATH.
26:21 OUR TOPIC TODAY IS SPECIFICALLY ON THE EXPERIENCE OF THE
26:31 SABBATH. VERY GOOD AT SHOWING WHICH DAY
26:36 IS THE RIGHT DAY. PRAISE THE LORD FOR THAT.
26:41 APOLOGETIC PERSUASIVE RESPONSE TO WHICH DAY IS THE SABBATH.
26:47 WE SHOULD DO THAT. I'M NOT SAYING WE SHOULD NOT DO
26:50 THAT, WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO THE EXPERIENCE OF THE SABBATH, MANY
26:54 TIMES IT'S FRAMED IN THIS PARADIGM OF PROHIBITION.
27:04 YOU CAN'T, YOU SHOULDN'T, YOU WON'T.
27:11 ANYTHING THAT YOU WANT. THERE ARE CERTAIN THINGS THAT
27:14 ARE INAPPROPRIATE TO DO ON THE SABBATH.
27:19 I'M TALKING ABOUT THE FRAME OF THE SABBATH.
27:23 MYSELF. I'M A THIRD GENERATION SEVENTH
27:29 DAY ADVENTIST. BLESSING, AMEN.
27:43 NEAR WASHINGTON ADVENTIST UNIVERSITY.
27:51 THEN WE MOVED FROM THERE WHICH WAS ONE ADVENTIST HUB TO ANOTHER
27:57 ADVENTIST HUB NEAR THE GENERAL MARYLAND.
28:04 HAGERSTOWN, MARYLAND. YOU'RE IN THESE ADVENTIST
28:30 COMMUNITIES, THERE'S SOMETHING KID, I LOOKED AT THE SABBATH
28:37 WITH DREAD. NIGHT TO SATURDAY NIGHT.
28:45 I REMEMBER ONE EVENING IN PARTICULAR WE WERE ALL THERE.
28:50 I KNEW WHAT TIME SUN DOWN WAS. WE PUT OUR TIMERS ON WHAT TIME
28:57 SUN DOWN WOULD BE. IT WAS A COUNTDOWN.
29:02 JUST TELLING YOU MY EXPERIENCE. AS OUR TIMERS WERE AT 10, MY
29:10 FRIENDS AND I IN UNISON SAID 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, WE
29:26 ERUPTED IN CHEER. THAT MEANT WE CAN TURN ON THE
29:29 TELEVISION. I'M ASHAMED OF IT.
29:33 WE'RE LIKE WOW, THE SABBATH IS OVER.
29:43 MINUTES. EXPERIENCE THE SABBATH.
29:47 YOU FOLLOWING ME HERE? THE SABBATH WAS FRAME IN THIS
29:53 NEGATIVE POSTURE. AS A YOUNG PERSON, IT FELT
29:57 ETERNAL. RESTRICTIONS PROHIBITION,
30:04 MISERY, DREAD, A DRUDGERY WE HAVE TO WORK OUR WAY THROUGH AND
30:08 THEN WHEN THE CLOCK TICKS SUN DOWN, PARTY.
30:18 EXPERIENCE. SOMETIMES BEING BORN INTO THIS
30:22 CHURCH BECAUSE YOU DON'T APPRECIATE WHAT YOU'RE BORN
30:26 INTO. THERE'S TWO PITFALLS THAT WE CAN
30:33 FALL INTO IN REGARDS TO OUR SABBATH EXPERIENCE.
30:42 DRUDGERY. THE SABBATH IS LIKE PRISON TIME.
30:48 SUN DOWN TO SUN DOWN. IT'S FRAMED IN THIS NEGATIVE
30:54 PROHIBITIVE CONTEXT THAT TOUGH TO ENDURE FOR 24 HOURS.
30:58 THAT'S ONE PITFALL. THE OTHER PITFALL IS ON THIS
31:04 SIDE. COMMON.
31:12 WE TREAT ANY OTHER DAY. BY THE WAY, I BELIEVE THAT ON
31:19 THE PENDULUM THAT EWITH GO THROUGH AND BY THE WAY, THE
31:22 DEVIL DOESN'T CARE WHICH ONE YOU FALL INTO, AS LONG AS YOU FALL
31:27 INTO ONE, DREAD, DRUDGERY, PRISON TIME OR SABBATH BECOMES
31:31 ALL ABOUT ME AND MY NEEDS. IT'S MAN CENTERED AND IT BECOMES
31:39 COMMON. THE CHURCH PARTICULARLY IN THE
31:45 WEST, THAT ON THE PENDULUM THAT WE SWING THROUGH IN REGARDS TO
31:49 OUR SABBATH EXPERIENCE, I OVER HERE.
31:55 WHERE THE SABBATH IS BECOMING COMMON RATHER THAN SACRED.
32:02 WE ARE CALLED TO BE A REPAIRER OF THE BREACH.
32:09 ISAIAH 58:12. IN OTHER WORDS, THERE IS A
32:14 BREACH BETWEEN GOD AND US AND GOD SAYS, ISAIAH 58:12, WE ARE
32:21 TO RESTORE THAT BREACH. HOW DO YOU RESTORE A BROKEN
32:28 RELATIONSHIP? USE.SOMETIMES CAN BE IN FRAMED
32:37 NEGATIVE TERM. YOU DON'T SPEND TIME WITH
32:42 SOMEONE. GOD SAYS, THERE'S A CHASM
32:48 BETWEEN ME AND YOU. I WANT YOU TO REPAIR THAT
32:52 BREACH. REPAIR THAT CHASM.
32:54 THAT CONNECTION, THAT RELATIONSHIP AND IN VERSE 13 HE
32:59 TELLS US HOW TO DO THAT. ISAIAH 58:13-14, IF YOU TURN
33:08 YOUR FOOT FROM THE SABBATH AND LORD AND HONOR HIM AND NOT
33:14 FINDING YOUR OWN PLEASURE OR SPEAKING YOUR OWN WORDS, YOU
33:18 SHALL DELIGHT YOURSELF IN THE LORD.
33:22 HEELS OF THE EARTH AND FEED YOU WITH THE HERITAGE WITH JACOB
33:26 YOUR FATHER THE MOUTH OF THE LORD HAS SPOKEN.
33:30 IN THE CONTEXT OF ISAIAH 58, HE SAYS THERE'S A BROKEN
33:34 RELATIONSHIP. THAT WE NEED TO STAND WITH GOD
33:38 AND THE PRACTICAL THAT WE EXPAND THAT RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD IS
33:44 THROUGH THE SABBATH. THE WAY THAT WE RECQUAINT
33:49 OURSELVES WITH GOD IS THROUGH THE RESTORATION OF HOW WE
33:53 EXPERIENCE THE SABBATH. ISAIAH 58 TELLS US WHAT OUR
34:04 EXPERIENCE CAN BE. IN THE SABBATH.
34:10 QUICKLY HERE, ISAIAH 58:13, THE BIBLE SAYS IF YOU TURN AWAY YOUR
34:17 FOOT FROM THE SABBATH, THE ENGLISH TRANSLATION IS OBSCURED,
34:24 WHAT IT ACTUALLY SAYS IN THE HEBREW IS TO TURN AWAY FROM
34:30 SOMETHING AND TO RETURN TO THE SABBATH.
34:38 METAPHOR OF THE FOOT. THE OTHER PLACE IN SCRIPTURE
34:40 WHERE THE FOOT OR THE FEET ARE IN THE RELATIONSHIP SOMETHING
34:47 THAT IS CONSIDERED HOLY IS IN THE BOOK EXODUS.
34:51 GOD IS ABOUT TO HAVE COMMUNION, A CONNECTION WITH MOSES AT THE
35:00 BURNING BUSH. CLOSER.
35:06 THIS GROUND, WHICH IS HOLY GROUND, YOU NEED REMOVE THE
35:12 SANDALS OFF YOUR FEET. GOD SAYS, BEFORE YOU ENGAGE ME
35:19 ON THIS AREA OF TE GROUND THAT IS HOLY, WHAT MADE THAT GROUND
35:23 HOLY? WHAT MADE THE SABBATH HOLY?
35:29 GOD IS THERE. BECAUSE GOD THERE, THAT GROUND
35:33 ON THE ENTIRE PLANET AT THAT TIME NEEDS TO BE ENGAGED,
35:40 DIFFERENTLY THAN ANY OTHER GROUND.
35:47 YOU ARE TAKE YOUR SHOES OFF YOUR FEET BECAUSE YOU ARE ON HOLY
35:56 GROUND. ELLEN WHITE TALK ABOUT A TIME IN
36:07 OUR CHURCH THAT THE CHURCH WILL BE IN CRISES.
36:12 SHE TALKS ABOUT THE ALPHA. IN END SHE SAYS THERE WILL BE AN
36:20 OMEGA APOSTASY WITHIN OUR OWN FAITH, WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY OF
36:24 FAITH. PAGE 204.
36:34 THE ENEMY OF SOULS HAVE SOUGHT TO BRING IN THE SUPPOSITION WAS
36:40 TO TAKE PLACE AMONG US. THAT THIS REFORMATION WILL
36:45 CONSIST GIVING UP THE DOCTRINES AND ENGAGING IN A PROCESS OF
36:55 REORGANIZATION. SHE SAYS THERE'S GOING TO COME A
37:02 TIME WHEN THE FOUNDATIONAL PILLARS OF OUR FAITH LIKE THE
37:07 SANCTUARY, ARE GOING TO COME UNDER QUESTION.
37:14 OUTSIDE. A REORGANIZATION, WHERE
37:21 WHAT, OUR PILLARS NEED TO BE REINTERPRETED.
37:30 REALLY SIX LITERAL DAYS. DARWIN HAS ENLIGHTENED US.
37:36 A REAL REORGANIZATION AND SHE SAYS, WHAT ARE THE IMPLICATIONS
37:40 WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN WE HAVE THIS REORGANIZATION OF OUR
37:45 PILLARS. WERE THIS REFORMATION TAKE
37:50 THE PRINCIPLES OF TRUTH HAS GIVEN TO THE CHURCH WILL BE
37:55 DISCARDED. THE FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES THAT
37:59 HAVE SUSTAINED THE WORK FOR THE LAST 50 YEARS WOULD BE ACCOUNTED
38:06 AS ERROR BOOKS OF NEW RECORD WOULD BE WRITTEN.
38:10 BY THE WAY, WE NEED TO READ THE BIBLE.
38:17 THE BIBLE. YOU CAN'T ENTRUST YOUR ETERNAL
38:26 SALVATION ON SOME SCHOLAR. PRAISE THE LORD FOR SCHOLARS, I
38:32 WOULD VENTURE TO SAY EVEN MORE, YOU CAN'T BASE YOUR SALVATION ON
38:40 CAMP MEETING SPEAKERS. THIS IS SUPPLEMENTAL.
38:46 IT IS NOT A REPLACEMENT FOR YOUR OWN PERSONAL STUDY AND WORD OF
38:52 GOD. PEOPLE OF THE BOOK.
38:56 WE WERE KNOWN AS BOOKWORMS AND ONE SCHOLAR SAID, WE'RE KNOWN AS
39:02 TAPEWORMS BACK WHEN WE HAD CASSETTES.
39:07 ADVENTIST PREACHING. PERSONAL BIBLE STUDY.
39:12 ALL THE DEVIL HAS TO DO IS LEAVE SOME PREACHER ASTRAY AND THE
39:19 MASSES GO WITH HIM. THE WORD OF GOD.
39:25 BOOK OF A NEW ORDER WOULD BE WRITTEN, A SYSTEM OF
39:32 INTELLECTUAL PHILOSOPHY WILL BE INTRODUCE.
39:38 IN OTHER WORDS IT'S THE MIXTURE OF FRUIT AND EVIL
39:50 NOTICE WHAT HE SAYS AFTER THAT. THE SABBATH OF COURSE WILL BE
39:56 WHO CREATED IT. NOTHING WILL BE ALLOWED TO STAND
40:00 IN THE WAY. IS BETTER THAN VICE.
40:06 THEY WILL PLACE THEIR DEPENDENCE ON HUMAN POWER.
40:12 SHE'S TALKING ABOUT OUR CHURCH. THE PILLARS WILL BE REMOVED.
40:17 THEY WILL DO A WONDERFUL WORK IN THE CITIES.
40:26 SABBATH WOULD BE LIGHTLY REGARDED.
40:30 PENDULUM OVER HERE. IN A PLACE WHERE SOMETHING
40:33 THAT'S CONSIDERED SACRED WOULD BE TREATED AS COMMON.
40:39 I WANT TO TELL YOU, AS I HAVE TRAVELED IN PARTICULARLY THE
40:50 WEST, I FEAR FOR OUR PEOPLE. AS THE WAY THAT OUR PEOPLE ARE
40:59 ENGAGING THE SABBATH IS BECOMING MORE AND MORE LIGHTLY REGARDED.
41:09 TRUE REVERENCE FOR GOD IS INSPIRED BY GREATNESS AND A
41:14 REALIZATION OF HIS PRESENCE. ISAIAH 58:13-14 IF YOU TURN YOUR
41:26 FOOTE FROM THE SABBATH, THE SABBATH TO BE HOLY.
41:32 OTHER DAY AND HERE IT SAYS FROM DOING YOUR PLEASURE ON MY HOLY
41:38 DAY. OWN WAYS.
41:42 WHEN I FIRST READ THIS VERSE, IT WAS MYSTIFYING TO ME BECAUSE IN
41:49 THE SAME PASSAGE WHERE IT SAY THAT THE T SABBATH SHOULD NOT BE A
41:58 TIME WHERE YOU HAVE YOUR PLEASURE.
42:05 DELIGHT. PLEASURABLE BE A DELIGHT?
42:11 SOME PEOPLE INTERPRETED THESE SHOULD HAVE NO PLEASURE.
42:16 WHICH IS A MISINTERPRETATION OF THE TEXT.
42:24 PLEASURE YET BE DELIGHTFUL? THE SABBATH IF YOU EXPERIENCE
42:31 ANY PLEASURE, IT'S A SIN. I FOUND IN THE HEBREW THAT THE
43:03 WORD PLEASURE IS TRANSLATED AS BUSINESS PLEASURE.
43:08 THE JEWISH BIBLE LITERALLY SAYS, BUSINESS PLEASURE AND ONE HEBREW
43:13 SAYS THAT LEADS US BACK TO THE STUDY OF THE WORD PLEASURE AS
43:16 FOUND IN ISAIAH 58:13 THIS WORD IS TRANSLATED BUSINESS PLEASURE
43:26 OR ONE'S OWN BUSINESS INTEREST. IN THE CONTEXT OF EXODUS.
43:32 IN OTHER WORDS, THE SABBATH IS A DAY THAT YOU GET TIME OFF.
43:40 PRAISE THE LORD. MOST OF US WHEN WE HEAR THE WORD
43:46 VACATION FROM WORK, WE REJOICE. THE BIKE SAYS YOU ARE NOT TO
43:58 HAVE BUSINESS PLEASURE ON THE SABBATH.
44:03 SPEAKING YOUR OWN WORD. IF YOU HAVE A TRANSLATION OF THE
44:08 WORD THAT HAS ITALICS WHERE SCHOLARS ADDED WORDS, YOU'LL
44:13 NOTICE THAT YOUR OWN IS IF I PHALLICS.
44:22 SPEAKING WORDS. CONSIDERATION, WHAT IS THAT
44:27 SAYING? SILENCE?
44:35 NO PREACHING? NO SABBATH SCHOOL?
44:42 SAYING APOSTLES PREACHED ON THE SABBATH, JESUS PREACH ON THE
44:48 SABBATH. THIS IS TALKING ABOUT BUSINESS.
44:55 ARE YOU FOLLOWING ME? IT'S SAYING THAT YOU ARE NOT TO
45:01 TAKE PLEASURE IN BUSINESS, BUSINESS PLEASURE NOR TALK ABOUT
45:08 BUSINESS ON THE SABBATH. A SABBATH IS NOT A DAY FOR
45:12 BUSINESS ENGAGEMENTS AND TRANSACTIONS.
45:16 NOR DOING YOUR OWN WAYS. NOR DOING BUSINESS.
45:19 WHEN YOU TAKE THIS TRANSLATION FROM THE HEBREW, NOR FINDING
45:24 YOUR OWN PLEASURE, ACTUALLY MEANS FINDING BUSINESS ON THE
45:29 SABBATH, LOOKING FOR POTENTIAL CUSTOMERS, SPEAKING WORDS
45:33 ACTUALLY MEANS TALKING BUSINESS AND DOING YOUR OWN BUSINESS
45:39 MEANS DOING BUSINESS AS USUAL. THE SABBATH IS NOT A TIME TO BE
45:47 THINKING ABOUT BUSINESS. TO BE TALKING ABOUT BUSINESS OR
45:52 TO BE DOING BUSINESS ON THE SABBATH.
46:10 PHOTOGRAPHY. ONE OF THE PLACES THAT ALL
46:15 AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHERS GO TO BUY THEIR PHOTOGRAPHY GEAR, ONE OF
46:21 TWO PLACE PLACES, THERE'S SOMETHING UNIQUE THESE TWO
46:32 COMPANIES. SHOP IN NEW YORK CITY.
46:36 FROM THE VERY BEGINNING, FROM FRIDAY NIGHT EASTERN STANDARD
46:41 TIME,ING TO SATURDAY KNIGHT EASTERN TIME, THEY WILL NOT DO
46:52 BUSINESS. EASTERN STANDARD TIME.
46:59 THEY WILL SAY SORRY THIS WEBSITE CLOSE THE FOR BUSINESS.
47:04 PLEASE COME BACK AFTER SABBATH HOURS HAVE EXPIRED.
47:19 THESE TWO COMPANIES ARE MILLION KEEP THE BIBLE SABBATH.
47:24 THEY'RE NOT ADVENTIST, THEY KEEP THE BIBLE SABBATH.
47:31 THE LORD WILL BLESS YOU. IF YOU MAKE A STAND FOR THE
47:36 SABBATH. DOWN ON THE SABBATH DAY.

48:38 THE SABBATH SHOULD BE MADE SO WEEKLY RETURN WILL BE HELD WITH
48:44 JOY. NOT A DRUDGERY, NOT LIKE YOU
48:49 GOING TO A FUNERAL, HAILED WITH JOY.
48:56 PARENTS, MAKE THE SABBATH A DELIGHT THAT YOUR CHILDREN MAY
48:59 LOOK FORWARD TO IT AND HAVE A WELCOME IF THEIR HEARTS FOR IT.
49:08 WE SHOULD FRAME THE SABBATH THAT IT'S A HOLY DELIGHT, NOT FOR
49:14 CARNAL. FORWARD TO AND SAY, I CAN'T WAIT
49:22 FOR THE SABBATH. THE SABBATH SHOULD BE MADE SO
49:27 INTERESTING THAT ITS WEEKLY RETURN SHOULD BE HAILED WITH
49:30 JOY. OPEN AIR.
49:33 WE CAN SIT WITH THEM IN THE GROVES AND BRIGHT SUNSHINE AND
49:37 GIVE THEIR MINDSES TO FEED UPON. CONVERSING WITH THEM ON THE
49:42 WORKS OF GOD AND CAN INSPIRE THEM WITH LOVE AND REVERENCE BY
49:47 CALLING THEIR ATTENTION TO BEAUTIFUL OBJECTS IN NATURE.
49:52 IN ALASKA, THERE ARE TIME WHEN AND SON, IT IS PRISTINE.
50:01 THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES WHEN YOU HAVE BEEN OVERWHELMED WITH AWE
50:08 AND WONDER AT THE BEAUTY. THERE'S NOT A SOUL FOR MILES.
50:20 LOWER 48, GO SOMEWHERE AND MILLION PEOPLE THERE TO ENJOY IT
50:26 WITH YOU. THE SABBATH SHOULD BE A DELIGHT.
50:29 A TIME TO COMMUNE WITH GOD AND GOD OF NATURE.
50:34 SABBATH. AND PRAYER MARK THE CLOSE OF THE
50:39 HOUR AND INVITE GOD'S PRESENCE THROUGH THE CARES OF THE WEAK.
50:43 PARENTS CAN MAKE THE SABBATH AS IT SHOULD BE.
50:48 THE MOST JOYFUL DAY OF THE WEEK. THEY CAN LEAVE THEIR CHILDREN
50:52 REGARDED AS DAY OF DELIGHT, DAY OF DAYS, THE HOLY THE LORD
51:00 HONORABLE. MAKE THE SABBATH TO YOUR
51:04 CHILDREN A DAY OF THROUGHOUT. A DAY THAT THEY LOOK FORWARDED
51:10 TO. CELEBRATED OUR SON'S SECOND
51:17 BIRTHDAY. WENT TO ALASKA AND SURPRISE.
51:26 WOULDN'T TRADE IT FOR THE WORLD. PRAISE THE LORD.
51:30 ON THAT DAY, I MARKED A MONTH IN ADVANCE ON MY CALENDAR.
51:35 ON THAT DAY, I GOT UP, I PUT MY PHONE ON AIRPLANE MODE.
51:46 CLOSED MY LAPTOP, I'M IN DOCTORAL STUDY, DIDN'T WANT TO
51:50 THINK ABOUT THAT. PUT IT ALL AWAY.
51:53 IT WAS NOT A DAY THAT I WAS ON YOUTUBE, GOOGLING, THE LATEST
51:58 AND GREATEST CAMERA THAT JUST CAME OUT.
52:07 IT WAS ALL ABOUT MY SON. FOCUSED ON MY SON.
52:15 WE TOOK HIM TO THE ZOO THAT DAY. I NEVER WENT TO THE ZOO BEFORE.
52:22 MY SON'S FAVORITE PLACE. FOCUSED ON MY SON FOR THE ENTIRE
52:29 DAY. WAS ABSOLUTELY DELIGHTFUL.
52:43 THE SABBATH IS NOT ABOUT ME. IT'S ABOUT GOD.
52:48 IT'S FOCUSED ON HIM AND FOCUSED ON MINISTRY TO OTHERS.
52:53 IN THAT FRAME, IN THAT CONTEXT THE SABBATH BECOMES A DELIGHT,
52:58 NOT A DRUDGERY. IF YOU WANT TO MAKE YOURSELF
53:03 MISERABLE, BECOME A NARCISSISTIC.
53:08 AND MY PROBLEM, MAKE IT ALL ABOUT ME AS THOUGH THE UNIVERSE
53:15 REVOLVES AROUND ME. GENERATION ME.
53:18 ALL ABOUT ME. YOU TALK ABOUT MISERY.
53:27 WHEN YOU MAKE IT ABOUT GOD, THE CREATOR, MAKE IT ABOUT SERVICE
53:31 AND MINISTRY, THE SABBATH BECOMES A DELIGHT.
53:38 IT'S IN OUR DNA. WHAT DO YOU THINK WE'LL BE DOING
53:43 IN HEAVEN? BIBLE SAY SABBATH IS A DAY OF
53:52 PHYSICAL REST. IT'S A TIME OF MENTAL REST.
54:00 THE LORD MADE THE HEAVENS AND EARTH AND ALL THAT IS IN THEM
54:04 AND RESTED ON THE SABBATH DAY AND IT MEANS TO SETTLE DOWN AND
54:10 BE QUIET IN A STATE OF TRANQUILITY.
54:22 CELEBRATION. REST.
54:31 A DAY OF SPIRITUAL GOSPEL REST. A LIFE IN CHRIST IS A LIFE OF
54:48 RESTFULNESS. CENTER IN FEAR WHETHER HE SHALL
54:55 BE SAVED. FROM THE SOURCE OF THEIR
55:01 STRENGTH. GOD, TALK AND THINK OF JESUS,
55:07 LET SELF BE LOST IN HIM. DISMISS YOUR FEARS, REST IN GOD.
55:16 THERE CAN BE A LOT OF ANXIETY IN THE CHRISTIAN EXPERIENCE.
55:20 GOD NEVER INTENDED IT FOR THAT TO BE OUR EXPERIENCE.
55:26 FOR SOME, THE CHRISTIAN EXPERIENCE IS A LIFE AND
55:31 EXPERIENCE OF ANXIETY. I DON'T KNOW IF I'M EVER GOING
55:35 TO MAKE IT. I DON'T KNOW IF I WILL EVER BE
55:40 SAVED? ANXIETY.
55:45 EVERY SEVEN DAYS WE NEED TO BE REMINDED TO REST IN HIS WORKS.
55:52 NOT ONLY IN CREATION BUT IN MY RESTORATION AND MY RECREATION.
56:01 EVERY SEVEN DAYS WE NOT ONLY MEMORIALIZE CREATION WE ARE ALSO
56:07 IN THE EXPERIENCE OF REDEMPTION AND WE REST IN HIS WORK AND HIS
56:18 RIGHTEOUSNESS. WE NEED THAT EVERY SEVEN DAYS.
56:24 THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT US IN OUR HUMAN NATURE WHERE WE THINK
56:27 WE HAVE TO WORK OUR WAY TO HEAVEN.
56:32 OF CONTRIBUTION TO MERIT MY SALVATION.
56:46 REST IN THE EXPERIENCE OF WHAT THE SABBATH MEANS.
56:55 EVERY SEVEN DAYS WHEN WE REST IN HIS WORK OF SALVATION.
57:06 EZEKIEL 21:12. I GAVE THEM MY SABBATH SIGN
57:09 BETWEEN US SO THEY WOULD KNOW THAT I THE LORD MADE THEM WHOLE.
57:15 HOW MANY YOU TODAY WANT TO SAY LORD, MAKE ME HOLY?
57:19 GIVE ME YOUR HOLINESS AND IN THE SABBATH EXPERIENCE, WE CAN HAVE
57:25 THAT REST. I PRAY THAT EACH ONE OF US WOULD
57:28 EXPERIENCE THE LORD OF THE SABBATH.
57:34 WE PRAY TODAY THAT YOU WOULD HELP TO EXPERIENCE THE SABBATH
57:39 IN WAY THAT WE NEVER HAVE BEFORE.
57:45 WORK THAT YOU ARE DOING IN OUR LIVES THAT WE CAN COME TO YOU
57:51 WITH OUR BURDENS.
