Quote:

When it comes to the Ten Commandments, most Americans make some effort to honor most of them - avoiding murder, theft, adultery and false witness wherever possible and even, if they think about, trying to honor parents and to stay away from covetousness. The Sabbath commandment, on the other hand (most often enumerated as number four in the Big Ten) gets scant attention: aside from Seventh Day Adventists, Orthodox Jews and a few other minor denominations, few of us even pause to consider what God expected of us with the instruction "Remember the Sabbath Day to keep it holy" (Exodus, 20:8) or, in the later restatement of the Ten Commandments: "Guard the Sabbath Day to keep it holy" (Deuteronomy 5:12).

(of course, he gets skewered by the bloggers at the end of his article)
