Restful Resistance: An Introduction
Discover the context in which the Sabbath commandment is given and what it truly means to have a day of rest.
Hear this, you who trample on the needy and bring the poor of the land to an end, saying, “When will the new moon be over, that we may sell grain? And the Sabbath, that we may offer wheat for sale, that we may make the ephah small and the shekel great and deal deceitfully with false balances, that we may buy the poor for silver and the needy for a pair of sandals and sell the chaff of the wheat?”

I am really looking forward to the “Restful Resistance” teachings. This introduction was great! Thank you!
Really enjoyed your thoughts here (as our family watched together on Shabbat). We’ve “observed” Shabbat for a few years now, but there is so much to learn and appreciate with the depth of this special day. Blessings & Shalom.
Recently I was watching a documentary on BBC. And it was said that, 40% of food that is produced In the west, is thrown away (not given away). Also even though 80% of the global population lives in Asia, Europe consumes 5 times the average and USA consumes 7 times the average consumption of those in Asia!
I live in Sri Lanka, South Asia.. we have 50% who live on a daily wage. With the current pandemic, these wage earners are struggling to purchase milk for their tea! Since we are a developing country laden with debt, the government struggle to support the poor During this economic crisis. So individuals and private companies have stepped up to distribute food rations.
My hearts cry is that God will hear the cries of the afflictions of His poeple, wherever they are the world and bring about the social justice that we so desperately need.
