Today’s Message is: “Observe Day!” Why Not?


“Leadership is about listening and observing. You can learn a lot about an organization, its culture, and the people through your eyes. Leaders can strategize on how to handle many different situations and come up with the best solutions to handle them with observation. If you want to see the big picture, then watch closely to what is going on and how people interact with each other. Leadership observation is another form of communication, it allows leaders to read body language, gain knowledge, and get a better understanding of people.” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

Good afternoon Col Burroughs and all of my brothers and sisters here on VFV. So many ways to go with today’s topic. I have chosen to look at the necessity of Observing the Sabbath Day And why do the Jews and the SDS observe it on Saturday while Christians do so on Sunday. Is it necessary at all now? I have provided a link below that looks at just that. Have a blessed day in the Lord today and always.


Taken from:https://godwords.org/why-dont-christians-observe-the-original-sabbath/

Why don’t Christians observe the original Sabbath?


HomeChristianity and the Bible› Why don’t Christians observe the original Sabbath?

This issue has been a sticking point between sabbatarians and the rest of the Body of Christ for some…

Very early on I learned that when put in charge of anything it was best to sit back and observe, not run in willy nilly changing things.
