Today is day 298 and we are studying The Fourth Commandment.

298. What does the Sabbath teach you about time?

Through an ordered life of weekly worship and rest throughout the Christian year, and by a regular pattern of daily prayer, I learn that time belongs to God and is ordered by him. (Genesis 1:14–15; Leviticus 23; Psalms 92:1–4; 119:164; Acts 3:1; Hebrews 10:25)

We will conclude today by praying Part III and Doxology of Canticle 10 found on page 88 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).

Today is day 297 and we are studying The Fourth Commandment.

297. Why does the Church worship on the first day of the week rather than the seventh?

The earliest Christians came to observe Sunday as “the Lord’s Day” (Revelation 1:10)for their primary day of worship in remembrance of Jesus’ resurrection on the first day of the week. (Luke 24:1–7; Acts 20:7; 1 Corinthians 16:2; Didache 14.1; Ignatius of Antioch,

Letter to the Magnesians 9)

We will conclude today by praying a Collect for Strength to Await Christ's Return found on page 22 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).

Today is day 296 and we are studying The Fourth Commandment.

296. What does this commandment teach you about work?

My work is a gift of God that can grant me provision and satisfaction, and serve the common good, but it neither defines my life nor rules over it. I am thereby freed from resentment and sloth to work diligently and with joy for God’s glory. (Genesis 2:15; Exodus 20:9–11; Psalm 128; Proverbs 6:6–11; 12:11–14; 16:3; Ephesians 4:28; Colossians 3:23–24)
