Abide v. 4-11

Commandment. v.10

4 sabbath practices:

(1) ceasing--not only from work but also from productivity, anxiety, worry, possessiveness, and so on

(2) resting-- of the body as well as the mind, emotions, and spirit--a wholistic rest;

(3) embracing--deliberately taking hold of Christian values, of our calling in life, of the wholeness God offers us;

(4) feasting--celebrating God and his goodness in individual and corporate worship as well as feasting with beauty, music, food, affection, and social interaction.
