Quote/Principle
The principle of keeping the Sabbath Day Holy has been emphasized in the past few years.  The leaders of our day find this principle of utmost importance, shouldn't we as well?

No law in all scripture has been more clearly defined than that of the Sabbath. … It is one of the laws most dear to the heart of God. Yet is noted far more in its desecration than in its acceptance and proper observance. We constantly talk about he worldliness of the present day ... What can we do to protect ourselves under these hazardous circumstances? How can we better help our young people to remain unspotted from the world? The Lord gives us the answer, and says that it can be done by sincerely observing the Sabbath day. ... The Lord does know what he is talking about. Sabbath observance will help us to more fully remain unspotted from the world. If we are serious about avoiding the contamination of worldliness, shall we not take his word at face value and believe it and practice it?
Mark E. Petersen; April 1975, General Conference
