During a recent trip overseas, I was attending a morning devotional time which was running later than scheduled.

Remember the Sabbath
Remember the Sabbath. Sounds pretty simple. And yet it is the longest of the ten commandments – 98 words based on the NKJV. God must have anticipated that we’d mess it up, and gave it more ink than any of the others. There is no ambiguity. The instruction is clear, we are to observe a…
