Just as with the Sabbath, the Lord’s Day should not be thought of as a list of dos and don’ts. Yet there is an element of duty when it comes to the Lord’s Day, and Reformed confessional and catechetical statements about the Lord’s Day and the fourth commandment help orient us to its purpose. In this lesson, Dr. Godfrey surveys Reformed confessions and catechisms, as well as Psalm 92, to teach us how any duty on the Lord’s Day ought to translate to delight.
