The happiness of heaven is the constant keeping of the Sabbath. Heaven is called a Sabbath, to make those who have Sabbaths long for heaven, and those who long for heaven love Sabbaths.
— Philip Henry
The Lord’s Day
Oh, what a blessing is Sunday, interposed between the waves of worldly business like the divine path of the Israelites through Jordan! There is nothing in which I would advise you to be more strictly conscientious than in keeping the sabbath day holy.
— William Wilberforce
Sabbath Keeping
The streams of religion run deep or shallow, according as the banks of the Sabbath are kept up or neglected.
— Matthew Henry
Lord’s Day
A thanksgiving-day hath a double precedency of a fast-day. On a fast-day we eye God’s anger; on a thanksgiving-day we look to God’s favour. In the former we specially mind our corruptions; in the latter, God’s compassions; therefore a fast-day calls for sorrow, a thanksgiving-day for joy. But the Lord’s day is the highest thanksgiving day.
— George Swinnock
Keeping the Sabbath
A Sabbath well spent brings a week of content, and strength for the toil of the morrow, but a Sabbath profaned, whate’er be gained, is a certain forerunner of sorrow.
— A. W. Pink
