Rest for Stressed out Families (4 of 10)
Series: Timeless Values for Today's Family

Exodus 20:8-11
We have been studying a series of messages on ''Timeless Values For Today's Family''. We have been talking about returning to the values that many of us grew up with. The values, that in large part, many of the people of our nation have drifted away from. Many of the leaders of our nation have drifted away from.

Those are the values represented worldwide by all the major religions of the world. And one of these, the fourth one, and the fourth commandment that God gave has to do with rest, and with the Sabbath day. He actually spends more verses on this commandment than He has any of the previous ones. And this shows us how important that it is.
The Good News version says, ''Observe the Sabbath day 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.'' When the American people are interviewed in a typical survey regarding their emotional state, anywhere from 65% - 75% of the working force will say that they are either burned out or they feel that they are at a point of being burned out. There can be no doubt that in view of all of the nervous breakdowns, the hospitals that a ...
