The Christian Sabbath — Creation, Command, and the Lord’s Day

Was the Sabbath only for the Jews… or is it still binding today?

In this episode of the Log Cabin Podcast, we revisit an early Cumberland Presbyterian lecture on the Christian Sabbath. Tracing its origin back to creation, this message argues that the Sabbath is not merely ceremonial, but moral—rooted in God’s design for all humanity.

The lecture explores:

• Why the Sabbath begins in Genesis, not Sinai

• Whether the command is still binding today

• Why the day changed from the seventh to the first (the Lord’s Day)

• What it actually means to “keep it holy”

• How neglecting the Sabbath shapes both individuals and nations

This is not a modern take—it’s a historical, theological voice calling us to reconsider how we use our time before God.
