Sunday Reset: What Mennonites ACTUALLY Do on Sundays! | DITL vlog 

Most people don’t know where Sunday rest/worship comes from. I say this in respect and for informational purposes, not to offend. God rested on the seventh day, not the first day. The first day known as Sunday is a pagan day dedicated to the worship of the sun god. In 321 a.d. Constantine made it a law that Sunday would be the common day for rest and worship in order to unite Christians and Pagans. Jesus and His disciples kept Saturday. The Catholic Church claims Sunday as her ecclesiastical authority because Protestants keep the Sabbath of the RCC’s invention and not the true Sabbath of the Bible. God wrote it in stone symbolizing it’s unchangeableness and Jesus, in the New Testament said to, “pray that your flight be neither in the winter nor on the Sabbath day.” He never changed it because God’s law is unchangeable. If it could be changed He wouldn’t have had to die to pay the penalty for us transgressing them. Forced Sunday rest is on the horizon and God never forces. Climate Sunday will eventually morph into a universal mandatory day of rest.

I am Southern Baptist from Alabama and we had piano and organ growing up but I was very surprised to know one of the songs that you were singing the first one. I haven't heard it in so long but I sang right along because until I was 20 and met my now ex-husband unfortunately I'm 41 now but I started going to his parents church which had the big giant screens and a huge choir and a full band and I did not ever get used to the production I mean sound stage people up in the loft and three or 400 people at two different services every Sunday. I was used to a small country church where when a visitor walked in they were welcomed and they had people that automatically would just get up and catch them at the door and make them feel welcome and wanted. At their church I was trying to find out where his family sat and I asked the people that were welcoming at the front and giving out the church schedule for that morning and not one person that I asked even knew who his family was and his dad played the drums and the orchestra. His parents did children's choir and nobody could tell me who they were. That was an eye-opening experience and I am trying now that I'm divorced to find that small country church atmosphere. Baptist we are very modest on Sundays growing up but it is church it looked like some of the girls were coming in from the club on Saturday night coming straight to church on Sunday morning. It made me blush. My son is 14 but thank goodness he's not a girl because number one I'm 6 ft 1 so she would be massive and number 2 I don't have to worry about modesty. Boys are just so much easier. I love your videos! I do not think that there's very many things different in a southern Baptist religion than Mormons they're obvious differences but I feel like I could walk into one and feel comfortable. Anyway love the video God bless you and your family and that sweet baby. Can't wait to see he or she when they arrive.

I do something similar on Shabbat for meals. Every other day is cutting and cooking vegetables and cheese or meat, which takes me an hour or more per meal. Shabbat is simple meals I can either cook in the microwave or eat without any cooking. It helps to set shabbat apart from the rest of the week. P.S., I really enjoyed the singing; very nice. I used to sing more; and, I really miss that sometimes! I need to get back to that. Thank you for sharing.

@@melpu310 That's nonsense. We have writings of the Early Church from the early 2nd Century (Look up Tertuillian and Justin Martyr) that clearly describes Sunday worship and makes reference to the fact that the Sabbath worship is on the Sunday, the day of Christ's resurrection.

It is not Friday but I want to wish you Shabbat Shalom!

@@karenmartin9743 - thank you. I have the custom of saying Shabbat Shalom starting on Wednesday if I won't see the person before Shabbat.

I'm a Christian Seventh-day Adventist and we keep Saturday holy instead of Sunday like you. It was the original day of rest kept by both Jews and Christians until Constantine changed it (for christians) to Sunday worship in the 4th century. For us we rest and worship and fellowship on the seventh day sabbath and don't work either. It's a blessing. Some other Christian denominations keep Sabbath as well, for example seventh day Baptists.

Molly Serkin. This is what I love about a day dedicated to our Faith. I am a Catholic, and our special day is also about spending time to Worship but it’s also about family and just being together (so many people forget to have special family time…time to reset the heart and head I think). During Covid lockdown in the UK our churches were closed so I REALLY missed that feeling of sharing Faith, but we still got together with family where possible (even for face time calls). It was a difficult time for everyone. Keep the Faith and love your family.

Hi Megan, I’d love to know where I can get a copy of your Bible. I am fascinated by other peoples Faiths and try to read up as much as I can. I was raised a Catholic but lapsed for a while in my teens….but when I met and married my husband and our children came along, my Faith came back and my children learned about our Faith. I LOVE that there are so many different beliefs in the world and I am amazed at some of the similarities many of them, the focus is always on family and togetherness…which I love. I think that no matter what your Faith is, we should strive to learn more. God Bless.

I totally agree. I loved this and have a similar background to you. Definitely subscribed.

I thought the same thing at first. I was hoping that she had become a Christian. It would be wonderful if she did. I'm so happy when they are actually able to escape hollywood. I love this, too, though.😊

She definitely deserved a break. Bless her

Hot ham and rolls, some chips, baked beans, tater salad or coleslaw and pickles. Some kind of dessert, which I got to help with as soon as I could. That was the supper on our day of rest and reflection. No cooking for Mom on that day. Really good flashbacks/memories. TY all so much for these. {hugz} TC!

Wow, I just copied down the name of your church. We sometimes visit Hawley and Tipton Pa and we are always looking for a church to go to. Now, I have a name for a Mennonite church and I use a Garmin in the car. I am sure I will be able to find it.
