In short, blasphemy is any sort of declaration that damages what is meant to be held as sacred or treats it with less respect than it is due.

This week, I revisit the topic of modern worship and its propensity to focus on the believer's experience. Worship is designed to de-center the self and recenter the believer's mind and life on Christ.

This week, I discuss the practice of rest or, as it's known in the church, observing the Sabbath. We can often busy ourselves with rote actions: reading a devotional, reading a passage from the Bible, and praying—all out of obligation instead of devotion. But we very rarely practice rest. Yet by failing to rest, are we not failing to keep one of the 10 Commandments?
