The Truth About the Sabbath

Once a week most Christians go to church. Some go to the early services, and others sleep in and like to catch the 11 a.m. service. And the chances are, if you're like most Christians, you go to church on Sundays, the day referred to as "the first day of the week" in the Bible. In this book we shall explain exactly how and why this has become the commonplace practice among the Christian world. When asked, most Christians are not aware of the exact history of the development of Sunday worship - some even think the Bible commands it - but the truth of the origin of Sunday worship goes far beyond this, and it is time for all Christians to be aware of it! The Lord wants us to seek His truth. At times we will hear things we like; at other times we may encounter material that challenges us; but the Lord expects us to read, study, and learn from the Holy Word, and to accept the light of His truth as it illuminates our minds!

Yet Jesus said if you really love God, you'll do what He asks. So is obedience legalism? Take time to read this Study Guide carefully... eternal consequences are at stake!
