"If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on My holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honourable; and shalt honour Him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words: Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it." Isaiah 58:13-14

"...every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment." Matthew 12:36

Today the TRUTH is equally as great and applicable as in the days when Jesus pronounced it:

"Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of Me and of My words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when He comes in the glory of His Father with the Holy angels!" Mark 8:38

Even our leading THINKERS, who may make no particular profession of "religion," state emphatically that our material progress has been so great and our spiritual development so SLOW comparatively that now it ENDANGERS civilization itself!

"The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and He knoweth them that trust in Him." Nahum 1:7

And then there is the relaxation and recreation which a hard working person requires. Even in casting and waiting for a fish to nibble, or in "putting" for that distant hole, the Truth of God as manifest and accomplished though Jesus Christ can be so predominant and ALL pervading that the person is largely OUT of this world!

"...whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things." Philippians 4:8
