Tammy’s Reviews > Stop, in the Name of God: Why Honoring the Sabbath Will Transform Your Life > Status Update

“Meals are at the heart of the Shabbat… This is not dinner. It is liturgy. Eating becomes an act of worship. Hospitality becomes a mitzvah. The table becomes a place where body and soul are fed in harmony. The best dishes are used. The finest clothing is worn. Time slows. Conversation deepens. The soul exhale.

“This is why the socialist worldview-so pervasive in modern education and media-is so dangerous. It teaches that work is inherently oppressive, that labor is a tool of exploitation, and that the highest goal is leisure, dependency, and red distribution. But the Bible teaches the opposite: that work is honorable, beneficial, and godly.”

“Sabbath is also communal. It’s not an isolated self-care day.-it’s meant to be shared… You’re reminded you’re not alone. You’re a part of a people. And in time of rising loneliness.-where even cellular thinkers de describe an epidemic of isolation-the Sabbath gift of presence may be its most healing power.”

“Power promises what it cannot deliver. It promises security, but breeds fear. It promises greatness, but produces loneliness, it promises, victory, but leaves only ruin those who worship at the altar of domination discovered too late that they have built their kingdoms on sand, and when the winds come, it all collapses.“

“Unlimited power in the hands of unlimited people always leads to cruelty.” Aleksander Solzhenitsyn

“When power becomes an in itself, cruelty, inevitably follows.”

“When we replace our ultimate faith in men, we invite tyranny. When we place our ultimate faith in God, we find freedom.“

“At a fundamental level, many people want science to promise salvation it cannot deliver. They want the vaccine, not just to protect them, but to make them invincible. They want the experts, not just to guide them, but give them certainty in a chaotic world. They want the system, not just to function, but to become their god.”.”

“Scientism is not science. Science is a noble pursuit of understanding the natural world, built on humility, curiosity, & the recognition of our limitations. Scientism, by contrast, is the belief that science alone can answer all the questions of life, morality and meaning. It is a totalizing world view that seeks to replace faith, philosophy, an theology with laboratory reports, &press conference conferences.”

“Faced with a virus that threatened human fragility, the world did not turn upward toward the creator; it bow lower before the idol of human expertise. The lockdowns were worse than the virus. And both were man-made, born from the same humanistic belief that men can engineer paradise. If only he controls enough variables, silence is enough to centers, and manipulates nature itself.“

“Every culture, every nation, and every generation has worshiped. Deep within the human spirit is an unshakable since that there’s something greater than ourselves, something grinder and beyond the reach of human hands. We instinctively know we were made for more than what we can see or touch… You can easily tell what you’re worshiping based on what you sacrifice to.“
