Laura Ruth Yordy once wrote, “Human sinfulness, unfortunately, proves highly resistant to cognitive cures.”20 Her point? Sin is not fixed through mere cognitive education. Sabbath is not an education issue; it is an obedience issue. The results of the Sabbath affect so many people and places. We can be aware of this, and yet the thing that matters is not whether we have that knowledge in our heads. What is important is that we take action, that we practice it, that we try it, that we give it a shot.
