Daily Lesson for July 20, 2017

Today's Daily Lesson comes from Mark chapter 3 verses 1 through 

6:

Again he entered the synagogue, and a man was there who had a withered hand. 2They watched him to see whether he would cure him on the sabbath, so that they might accuse him. 3And he said to the man who had the withered hand, ‘Come forward.’ 4Then he said to them, ‘Is it lawful to do good or to do harm on the sabbath, to save life or to kill?’ But they were silent. 5He looked around at them with anger; he was grieved at their hardness of heart and said to the man, ‘Stretch out your hand.’ He stretched it out, and his hand was restored. 6The Pharisees went out and immediately conspired with the Herodians against him, how to destroy him.

Awhile back I was at a diner in town eating with a couple of friends. I couldn't help but overhear at the table behind us a man talking about some tenants renting a place of his. 

"I mean they're or Turks or Pakis or something. I get a call on Sunday morning, right before church. They've got a leak. Of course, they're not in church. They don't care about LORD's Day. Sunday doesn't mean anything to them. They want me to come over right now because," -- and here his voice got low and real, real loud, obnoxiously loud, "MUSLIMS".

And I wondered to myself if what this guy usually did on Sundays really had anything to do with the real meaning of Sabbath -- anything at all. 

Again, if any have ears to hear let them hear.
