The idea that one speaks the name ‘Yahweh’ with each breath continues to spread.

There is nothing wrong with choosing to treat Sunday as a day of rest or selecting a day of rest and withdrawal from the usual activities. This article is not about that.
The issue is that this teaching on Sabbath is part of Contemplative teachings and Spiritual Disciplines, and these teachings do not have biblical support as I have shown in many articles on this website, as well as discussing the topic in online interviews. The so-called discipline of Sabbath, like the other disciplines, tends to take over and dominate what Scripture teaches on living the Christian life.
