The Sabbath anchors rest in Christ now, anticipates reunion at His coming, and proclaims God’s everlasting love as the universe’s theme.

Let’s start with something I’ve noticed: for some reason, I must have a sign on my back that says, “Talk religion with me.” The other day I sat next to a fella in a little restaurant in town.
