    How does a Christian keep the Sabbath Holy?

    In reality, the entire Bible, the New Testament included, is full of instructions and commandments that we would be wise to obey. And even expected to obey if we are to be doers of the word. The New Testament alone has hundreds, maybe even up to 1,000 commands for a Christian to obey. But few...

    All 613 Laws
