The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association Calls for Sunday Rest to Reclaim our Physical, Spiritual and Emotional Health
• What do Sundays look like for you? Are they a time to rest and recuperate?
• Forsaking the Sabbath can leave us feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, and stressed.
• As a wife and mother of three, Cissie Graham Lynch shares her own struggle to prioritize this day of rest. Her latest episode on the Fearless podcast encourages listeners to reclaim their Sabbath as a family.
• "Why is this one of the Ten Commandments that we have no problem breaking in our lives and in our relationship with the Lord?"
• By missing out on a true Sabbath each week, we are also missing out on an opportunity to put God first, to experience rest, and to trust in Him.
• "God gave us the Sabbath for a reason," Lynch shared on the podcast. "When we don't take a day of rest, we will not be ready physically, spiritually, and emotionally to face the days ahead."
The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association makes the case that everyone's health would benefit from having Sunday off. At the same time, they want us to set this day aside to reconnect with God. This is talking about worship. The BGEA is saying that we cannot "recuperate" or "reclaim" Sunday rest unless we preserve this day for worship. That is the ultimate goal and the reason why they call Sunday desecration a breaking of the Ten Commandments. If God gave us the Sabbath for a reason, and if this is designed for our "spirituality," then what we are seeing is a call by Evangelical Protestants to preserve Sunday as the Christian Sabbath for both rest and worship. In other words, you cannot promote Sunday rest as a solely secular practice but rather as a rest based on religious principles.

Let Us Stop Avoiding the Real Issues
As the 2025 General Conference Session convenes, with believers from around the world watching and praying, there is an unmistakable sense of frustration among many of the faithful. While we will be given lectures about returning our tithes and offerings-as outlined in the proposed 2025 Church Manual agenda-we must ask ourselves: is this truly the burning concern on the hearts of God's remnant people at this critical hour in history?

While walking down the hallway at the America's Center Convention Complex-the site of the 62nd General Conference Session-I saw Ganoune Diop approaching.

Rome Stops Traffic On Ecological Sunday
Rome's "Ecological Sundays," which restrict traffic to reduce pollution, may at a first glance appear to be an environmental initiative on the surface, but they serve a deeper agenda-to condition the public to the idea of staying home and resting on Sundays. While rest is not inherently problematic, the issue lies in how this concept is being enforced-not through a voluntary means, but through civil law. By mandating Sunday rest…

World News Group is a biweekly news magazine published by evangelical Protestants that was created to serve the Christian community. [1] On February 14, 2024, World News Group published a defense of Chick-fil-A, calling for the right of businesses to close on Sunday. In fact, the Evangelical magazine made the argument that no business should be open on Sunday because this would go against "text, tradition, and nature." The article…
