Welcome to a delightful series of letters that will take you on a one-of-a-kind and light- hearted journey through various aspects of the Christian faith.

Instead, they seek to gently guide you, sharing insights and truths while remaining sensitive to the Holy Spirit\’s leading in your life.
Christianity, you see, is more than just a set of rules or dogmas to be imposed on others. It is a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, and each person\’s relationship is unique. We believe in the Great Commission, the call to go and make disciples of all nations, but we also recognise that this is a deeply personal journey of faith. #brendonnaicker #heavenly #heavenlyinbox #theologyschool #dearfriend #letters #christianity #christian #discipleship #biblestudy Heavenly Inbox https://amzn.eu/d/24jzR43

Saturday Worship: A Sabbath Stuck in Time or a Day of Divine Delight?
In the early days of Christianity, a significant transition took place as the observance of the Sabbath gave way to the practice of honouring the Lord\’s Day. This shift from Saturday to Sunday worship sparked theological discussions and raised questions about the historical and practical aspects of early Christian traditions. Some believers, particularly those rooted in Jewish traditions, continued to adhere to Sabbath observance alongside their newfound faith in Christ.
However, theological justifications emerged, arguing that Christ\’s fulfillment of the Sabbath commandment rendered strict observance unnecessary. Instead, Christians were encouraged to embody holiness every day. The Lord\’s Day, named for its eschatological significance and joyful anticipation of Christ\’s second coming, became the focal point of Christian gatherings.
Controversies arose regarding the timing of worship, the computation of days, and the gradual nature of the transition. Understanding this historical and theological shift sheds light on the foundations of Christian worship and the evolution of early Christian practises.

Navigating the Worship Wave without Losing the Word
As the current generation of Christians works to improve the Church by instituting novel forms of worship, it is essential that any changes be carefully assessed for their potential to distort the Bible\’s message.

From Pulpits to Purses
