Taking delight in the Sabbath

Isaiah tells us if we call the sabbath a delight and honor it, we are taking delight in the Lord. We had such a good day at Four Oaks yesterday in God's house (on Sunday mornings, Chiles High School is God's house). What a great proclamation of the word from the pulpit! The exhortation to use our gifts that we might reflect the image and nature of God, demonstrate his goodness and compassion as we act in obedience to him, produce intimacy and true fellowship in the body and that final powerful purpose for using our gifts in service to the body of Christ and the world: we manifest and embody the redeeming love of Christ to the world. Really made me want to do my share, to labor for these purposes.
