Scripture starts with an introduction to God, and by implication, we are also introduced to why we should worship.

Want to live with robust spirituality? What fuels that in a person?

Don't feel ready for Sunday? You're not alone.

The commandment to remember the Sabbath is given to us because we are prone not to rest. The good news is that we can ask for help.

As W. David. O. Taylor prays:

"O Lord, you who rested on the sabbath in order to delight in your creation, may we live this day as a day of grace—in contented rest, festive play, generous hospitality & leisurely relationship—so that we might live each day with a sense that in Jesus there's always enough. Amen."
