Episode Summary. One of the words used to describe the worldview of the culture in which we all swim is secularism, which describes a lifestyle of preoccupation with the visible, material world to the neglect of the world of the spiritual. The result of swimming in this polluted water has been, in my view, a largescale disregard of the fourth commandment by Christians and consequent loss of its benefits. The lost benefits are understanding the eternal value of work and understanding the need to regularly shut out the secular world to be renewed and reconnected to the Spiritual Being who created us. This episode seeks to recover what is often lost by the neglect pf the fourth commandment.

For Further Prayerful Thought:

What most stood out to you in this episode about the fourth commandment?
How would you respond to someone who said, “Keeping the Sabbath is being legalistic, and the church is not Israel?”
What components of a biblical view of work seem most important to you.
It’s been said that the more important your work is, the more important it is to regularly step away from it and renew. How might this principle apply to serving Christ?
