# How Critical the Christian Sabbath Is, According to William S. Plumer

“Just in proportion as churches decline in the practice and power of godliness, become unsound in doctrine, licentious in life, and lax in discipline, wedded to human inventions, and heedless of the law of God in other respects, in the same proportion do they lightly esteem the Sabbath of the Lord. *No Sabbath, no church*, is the rule down in Scripture. It is a correct rule. Without that holy day, all true religion would soon vanish from the earth.” - [**William S. Plumer**](/authors/william-swan-plumer), *The Law of God, as Contained in the Ten Commandments, Explained and Enforced* (1864), pp. 302-303
