Church, the Sabbath, and getting something out of it
The Sabbath was given as a gift. If it is not landing that way, that is worth talking about honestly.

- Old TestamentIsaiah 58:13–14
“And call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the Lord, honourable.”
- New TestamentMark 2:27
“The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath.”

“And there was one day in every week that was set apart that they should gather themselves together to teach the people, and to worship the Lord their God.”
- Doctrine and CovenantsD&C 59:9–10
“That thou mayest more fully keep thyself unspotted from the world, thou shalt go to the house of prayer and offer up thy sacraments upon my holy day.”
