The Sabbath Day President Spencer W. Kimball

 We
have become a world of Sabbath breakers. On the Sabbath the lakes are
full of boats, the beaches are crowded, the shows have their best attendance,
the golf links are dotted with players. The Sabbath is the preferred
day for rodeos, conventions, family picnics; and ball games are played
on this sacred day..."Business as usual" is the slogan for
many, and our holy day has become a holiday... Sabbath-breakers too are those who buy commodities or entertainment on the Sabbath, thus encouraging pleasure palaces and business establishments to remain open-- which they otherwise would not do. If we buy, sell, trade or support such on the Lord's day we are rebellious as the children of Israel, the dire consequences of whose transgressions against this and other commandments should be a permanent warning to us all. (President Kimball, Miracle of Forgiveness, p. 46) |
