On the fifteenth day of the e seventh month, hold a sacred assembly and do no regular work. Celebrate a festival to the Lord for seven days. the festival of Tabernacles. Jul.15. 7 days

Why?

All of these festivals to Israeltes, remember their history, and their experience with the Lord, and remember all of these are the gifts from the Lord.

Especially, on the tenth day of the seventh month hold a sacred assembly, and deny yourselves and do no work to face their own sins before the Lord.

Let the festival of Christianity become our culture and our living style to remember the Lord every day.

節期： 逾越節，除酵節、初熟節、七七節五旬節，吹角節，住棚節。表明從人得到到最後進入新天新地。神的救恩當中。現在過的節期，聖誕節、復活節，我們不能只有把心意放在傳福音上，更重要是我們要看重與神的關係。什麼勞碌的工作不可做，節期中當把工作放下來。每個節期中除了獻祭以外，還要獻除罪祭，提醒我們本來都是不配的。

在每日常獻的三祭，素祭、火祭、奠祭，仍然不可缺少。每日的敬拜都做到，節期的敬拜才蒙悅納！住棚節奉獻的東西特別多一倍，因為也叫收藏節，一年結束，數算神的恩典也多，奉獻量多，不用計較。

How?

The Lord is my God, my savior, and my shepherd. My life, my way, and my, all in all, are in the hands of the Lord. Praise the Lord with all my heart, all my mind, and all my strength.
