God's Word to Workaholics
Miles Seaborn
Exodus 20:8-9
Do you ever get tired just thinking of what you have to do? Are you as fatigued on Monday mornings as you are on Friday afternoon?
Have you ever brought homework in a brief case and used the weekends to ''catch up''?
Do you ever feel guilty when you relax?
Today we are going to see what God's Word says about taking a day off!
Our messages are about ten values that help build strong families. Would you agree that Workaholism hurts families? The 4th commandment is about taking a day off.

''Observe the Sabbath and keep it holy. You have six days in which to do your work but the seventh day is a day of rest dedicated to me. On that day no one is to work.''
I. THE SABBATH: ANTIDOTE TO BURNOUT
''Sabbath'' means: REST (Every 7th day rest!)

Mark 2:27 Sabbath was made to benefit man!
WHEN?
Saturday/Sunday? Friday. It doesn't matter. It is once a week! When you chose to worship God and rest.
ILL. Islam - Friday, Jews - Saturday, Christians - Sunday
Not one place in the Bible does it command us to worship on Sunday! In the New Testament, Sunday was called ''The Lord's day - Jesus arose from the dead.'' In Revelation, John 1:10 called it ''The Lord's Day.''
Colossians 2:16-17 says as a Christian you are no longer tied down to a set day for the Sabbath i.e. r ...
