Happy Sabbath y'all! For the Sabbath keepers...Could I get your thoughts on camping through Sabbath?

Question

drawing closer to the Lord by enjoying His works in nature can be very refreshing and uplifting; and any other activity that explicitly focuses the mind upon God and His works in our behalf would seem to be in the spirit of keeping the Sabbath holy

Answer 1

I see no reason not to celebrate by camping. If it's within the guidelines of your particular flavor of faith, having a natural setting for celebrating teh Sabbath could be really refreshing and invigorating.

Answer 2

This former Sabbath keeper would agree with you. We used to go camping also, and have outdoor Sabbath services. Thanks for sharing!

Answer 3

The defining quetion should be does it draw you closer to God?

If not, don't.

If so, then yes.

Personally, I have camped a lot on the Sabbath, especially with youth groups.

Answer 4

Jesus is my sabbath, and I take him everyday

enjoy your camping, you get a signal out there?

Answer 5

Hello, Freedom & happy Sabbath:

Let us remember the saints Paul spoke to in Acts   16:13   And on the sabbath we went out of the city by a river side, where prayer was wont to be made; and we sat down, and spake unto the women which resorted [thither].  

But remember that the Sabbath is a holy convocation. That means gathering.  

Sometimes outings that are not properly planned and supervised are worldly experiences and draw the saints into self display or activities that are not conductive to the sacred time.  These can draw one away from what God plans.

The pathfinders have an annual flotation down the Colorado River, and at sundown Friday, music and presentations usher in the heavenly presence. Sabbath a.m. is regular Bible study and worship, with Christian activities. At sundown, then the youth do 'outing" activities.

Yes, by all means enjoy God's creation as nature is another revelation  like a "natural" Bible.

Shalom, peace in Jesus, Ben Yeshua

Answer 6

My thoughts are if you are going to camp on Sabbath, be sure you are well prepare before sunset. Welcome him in with a song of praise just as Sabbath is opening. Of course you would do the same at home too. If you are putting up tents and equipment on the Sabbath, that is no different than cleaning up on the Sabbath at your house. We are to be prepare for worship and fellowship with Him. Camping is nice on Sabbath. Nature belongs to God. It is very holy to enjoy the nature that God has created. Have a Happy Sabbath.

Answer 7

Camping on the sabbath is hardly a case of remaining in your dwelling on the sabbath.

Don't forget to prepare all your meals ahead of time.

If you are going to keep the sabbath, then keep the sabbath as commanded in Scripture.
