Keep Ourselves Unspotted

D&C 59:9-10

Not only is the Sabbath a day of physical rest, but it is also a day to rest from the world. We go to church to partake of the sacrament to become renewed and spiritually restrengthened. If we don't rest from the world then we will eventually become subject to it. Constantly being subject to it six days of the week is enough to bring a person down. Without the seventh day, we would be more easily enticed. I notice that when I missed church or the sacrament, for traveling purposes, that I didn't feel like I had the Spirit with me as much as I usually do, and the world then becomes more blunt and objective.
