“As we consider the pattern of the Sabbath and the sacrament
in our own lives, there appear to be three things the Lord requires of us:
first, to keep ourselves unspotted from the world; second, to go to the house
of prayer and offer up our sacraments; and third, to rest from our labors.
“It is a glorious thing to be a Christian and to live as a
true disciple of Christ. Of us He said, “They are not of the world, even as I
am not of the world.” To keep ourselves unspotted from the world, He expects us
to avoid such worldly distractions of businesses and recreational facilities on
the Sabbath day.
“I believe He also desire us to dress appropriately. Our
youth may think the old saying “Sunday best” is outdated. Still, we know that
when Sunday dress deteriorates to everyday attire, attitudes and actions
follow.”
Elder L. Tom Perry, “The Sabbath and the
Sacrament,” Ensign, May 2011, 6-9.
