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
The Lord’s Day
What fitter day to ascend to heaven, than that on which He arose from earth, and fully triumphed over death and hell. Use your Sabbaths as steps to glory, till you have passed them all, and are there arrived.
— Richard Baxter
