The sabbath is a day of rest for God, not really humans. God isn't telling us to be lazy. We can rest from our everyday routines and focus more on God that day. To keep it holy would to do things especially this day for God. It can be reading the Bible, worshiping in Church, serving others. Jesus makes this point.
Matthew 12:1-14
At that time Jesus went through the grain fields on the Sabbath. His disciples were hungry and began to pick some heads of grain and eat them. When the Pharisees saw this, they said to him, "Look! Your disciples are doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath." He answered, "Haven’t you read what David did when he and his companions were hungry? He entered the house of God, and he and his companions ate the consecrated bread—which was not lawful for them to do, but only for the priests. Or haven’t you read in the Law that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple desecrate the day and yet are innocent? I tell you that one greater than the temple is here. If you had known what these words mean, ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice,’ you would not have condemned the innocent. For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath." Going on from that place, he went into their synagogue, and a man with a shriveled hand was there. Looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, they asked him, "Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?" He said to them, "If any of you has a sheep and it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will you not take hold of it and lift it out? How much more valuable is a man than a sheep! Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath." Then he said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." So he stretched it out and it was completely restored, just as sound as the other. But the Pharisees went out and plotted how they might kill Jesus."

The Bible warns against the forsaking of the assembling of yourselves together.

You can but you aren't allowed to work. The penalty for working on the sabbath day...is that you be PUT TO DEATH!
Read Exodus 31:15 for yourself. It isn't a misprint, it isn't a "misinterpretation". It means what it says.

You can worship whereever. For me there is no greater church than a nice nature spot. It is the ultimate church for me.

If you watch NASCAR, you get a pre-race benediction from an actual pastor. So you can stay home and watch that. :-)

Forsake not the fellowship with the saints because they are there to encourage you in the Lord.

whatever way you choose is okay with God, but it may not be okay with your meddling neighbour.
