An Explanation of Luther's Small Catechism · Martin Luther
GOD'S DAY.
1. Making light of God's Word, or regarding and treating it as the word of man. 2. Neglecting to go to church, and pleading poor excuses for absence. [Heb. 10:25+] 3. Inattention and lack of devotion in church. [Eccl. 5:1+] 4. Filling the mind with worldly things on Sunday (business, pleasure, Sunday-newspapers, etc.), so that God's Word cannot be rightly received into the heart. [Luke 8:5,12] 5. Making Sunday a holiday, lounging-day, or pleasure-day. 6. Making it a working-day, and thus preventing attendance at church.
