Biblical Holy Days vs. Pagan Holidays
Are you sensing something is off about the way Christians celebrate holidays? Wondering why the church at large meets on Sunday rather than on the Sabbath? Want to get off the treadmill of nonstop work and stress — and into the rhythm of a weekly day of rest and prolonged times of refreshment throughout every year?
Why This Topic Belongs on a Homeschool Site
- A growing percentage of families who have switched to observing the 7th-day Sabbath and the annual holy days described in Leviticus 23 and elsewhere in the Bible are homeschoolers.
- There is a close affinity between what homeschoolers have discovered works — close mentoring, the older discipling the younger, building precept upon precept, teaching for mastery rather than grades, keeping it close to home — and how this is done within a corporate fellowship of believers. It reflects a shift from the Greek model (filling students with information) to the Hebraic model of shaping a life via close daily association.
- Homeschool parents tend to research and dig to the roots of how things are done, and are open to changing them when discrepancies, inefficiencies, and unbiblical patterns are recognized.
About the Book
This engaging, multifaceted 106-page softcover book is about reclaiming the divine and ditching the sham holidays. Discover how the Heavenly Father provided a full day of rejuvenating rest and worship for all people — and how that was lost in history. Read scriptural and historical evidence for a much-needed, forgotten weekly gift, and for days symmetrically placed throughout each year that are packed with life and meaning.
Nowhere did God command us to celebrate Halloween, Christmas, Easter, or other such days — but He did lay out seven annual festivals and the seventh weekly day for observance by all who love Him, through all generations. Here is a short introduction to all of them, with convincing logic and beautiful benefits. Try celebrating these for a year, and see if you don't wind up closer to the Lord you love.
The information in this book includes what the divinely ordered holidays are, when to observe them, and simple suggestions for how to celebrate them.
