The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association Calls for Sunday Rest

The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA) is a non-profit Evangelical Christian outreach organization that promotes multimedia evangelism, conducts evangelistic crusades, and engages in disaster relief. On May 16, 2023, the BGEA published an article titled "Taking Bach Your Sabbath" and featured Cissie Graham Lynch, the granddaughter of Billy Graham. Cissie Hraham Lynch shared the following points about Sunday:

• What do Sundays look like for you? Are they a time to rest and recuperate?

• Forsaking the Sabbath can leave us feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, and stressed.

• As a wife and mother of three, Cissie Graham Lynch shares her own struggle to prioritize this day of rest. Her latest episode on the Fearless podcast encourages listeners to reclaim their Sabbath as a family.

• "Why is this one of the Ten Commandments that we have no problem breaking in our lives and in our relationship with the Lord?"

• By missing out on a true Sabbath each week, we are also missing out on an opportunity to put God first, to experience rest, and to trust in Him.

• "God gave us the Sabbath for a reason," Lynch shared on the podcast. "When we don't take a day of rest, we will not be ready physically, spiritually, and emotionally to face the days ahead."

The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association makes the case that everyone's health would benefit from having Sunday off. At the same time, they want us to set this day aside to reconnect with God. This is talking about worship. The BGEA is saying that we cannot "recuperate" or "reclaim" Sunday rest unless we preserve this day for worship. That is the ultimate goal and the reason why they call Sunday desecration a breaking of the Ten Commandments. If God gave us the Sabbath for a reason, and if this is designed for our "spirituality," then what we are seeing is a call by Evangelical Protestants to preserve Sunday as the Christian Sabbath for both rest and worship. In other words, you cannot promote Sunday rest as a solely secular practice but rather as a rest based on religious principles.
