Keeping the sabbath day holy

Doctrine and Covenants 59:9-10 is today's scripture mastery:

 9 And 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;

 10 For verily this is a day appointed unto you to rest from your labors, and to pay thy devotions unto the Most High;

God has not rescinded the commandment to keep the sabbath day holy.  The original command given to Moses and recorded in Exodus 20:8-11 still stands:

 8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.

 9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:

 10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:

 11 For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

That is why we as a church do attend meetings to worship God, and to learn of Christ on Sundays.  Attending worship services are an excellent way to keep the sabbath day holy.  It is a great place to do as Moroni recorded in the Book of Mormon (Moroni 6:4-6):

4 And after they had been received unto baptism, and were wrought upon and cleansed by the power of the Holy Ghost, they were numbered among the people of the church of Christ; and their names were taken, that they might be remembered and nourished by the good word of God, to keep them in the right way, to keep them continually watchful unto prayer, relying alone upon the merits of Christ, who was the author and the finisher of their faith.

 5 And the church did meet together oft, to fast and to pray, and to speak one with another concerning the welfare of their souls.

 6 And they did meet together oft to partake of bread and wine, in remembrance of the Lord Jesus.

Come and worship with us on any Sunday at a meeting house near you.  Come and worship Christ with us and enjoy the sabbath day.
