Most people today keep the Sunday Sabbath by going to church on Sunday morning, but the rest of the  day is their time for movies, ball games, work in the house, the car, restaurants etc. It should be God's Holy day devoted mainly to spiritual activities like sharing the gospel, reading the Bible, prayer, visiting the sick. Again today we're learning that the idea of honoring the Sabbath is pointing spiritually to this time of tribulation, but believers continue to honor God morally on Sunday:
- If thou turn away thy foot from the Sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honorable; and shalt honor him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words: Isa 58:13

How are we to keep the Sunday Sabbath?

The above answer begins "Most people today keep the sunday sabbath by going to church on Sunday morning, but the rest of the day is their time for ....". I could modify this to be "Most conservative people keep sunday as the sabbath, but the rest of the week is their time for ....". Isn't this telling?
Camping also teaches that the sabbath is a moral law, not ceremonial. And since one would expect the moral law to apply not only in this world but the next, then it would seem we'll need to observe the 1st day of the week in the next world also. But does that really make any sense? But if instead the sabbath is completely about rest in Christ, in this world and the next, then it is easy to see how we can observe the sabbath eternally.
