The 4th Commandment

6 February 2022 By David Trounce

The 4th Commandment - Sermo Humilis

The Jewish Sabbath was instituted as a reminder that God had delivered Israel from their slavery in Egypt (Deuteronomy 5:15). As such, the day was marked by joy. It was not a dour or dull affair.

The Sabbath Under Our Feet

In Praise of Standing Still

21 January 2019 By David Trounce

Be Still and Know - sermo humilis

We live and move in a world that no longer rests. What's more, the number of places that you can rest seems to be on the decline.
