God just wants us to set aside a day to attend church services as a family, and relax and do family things the remainder of the day.
Not splitting off in all directions doing our own things. It keeps the family unit strong. Do things as a family unit or just TALK to each other.
I'm a street preacher, and the things that teens and young people complain about the most (bitterly) is the lack of attention in the home. They're wandering the streets looking for it. Some have found Jesus if I was there. Everyone wants love and conversation. They don't care about themselves because "no one wants to talk."
They have things going on in their minds that says, "I am not valuable. What I think doesn't matter to anyone. "My parents don't know where I am and they Don't Care."
Sabbath is when we go to God and worship and listen to the ONLY ONE who cares what we need.
His love HEALS a lonely soul. That's the reason we don't FORSAKE ASSEMBLING TOGETHER. Someone needs a touch or encouragement from God, through us.
If people would stop bludgeoning each other with THE LAW__other people may get healed and be comforted with a kind word or a special scripture. Go home with a smile in their heart.
Internet, social networks, has produced 2 decades of lonely existence and a huge need to touch people and be touched; talked to. We singles used to go to a restaurant and get a HUGE platter of nachos (after church; share stories, jokes, and it was FUN. Did it every week.
The Sabbath was made for the people. Ask the Holy Spirit to explain it to your spirit.
You get back interest from things you invest YOURSELF in, fully. What this decade is having a problem with, is, Emotional Closeness.
I know I'm right because me and the Holy Spirit are tight. I hope this helped.
Colossians 2:14-17. Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it. Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ. These articles was a shadow of things to come.
We rest in the finish work of Christ.

For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.
And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest.
Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:
Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.
There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.
For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.
Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.
Hi Debbie Hendryx . Jesus is Lord of the Sabbath. That means if you put your faith in him you have a constant Sabbath. The phrase "the Lord of the Sabbath" is found in Matthew 12:8, Mark 2:28, and Luke 6:5. In all three instances Jesus is referring to Himself as the Lord of the Sabbath or, as Mark records it, "The Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath" ( Mark 2:28).
So the Sabbath is still in effect, but it is only made perfect when we accept Jesus.
God just wants us to set aside a day to attend church services as a family, and relax and do family things the remainder of the day.
Not splitting off in all directions doing our own things. It keeps the family unit strong. Do things as a family unit or just TALK to each other.
