I'm certainly not saying shops etc should be shut and servcies stopped either, just that each person needs to work out what is right for them according to God's Word and their circumstances rather than just go along with the world's views. Romans 14:5, 6 deals with this issue where one person will consider one day more sacred, whereas others consider each day alike, after all we should be living each day in God's presence. God's Blueprint For Life - Blog Entry30 May 2007 08:06 PM Janet, What an interesting situation you have there with a multi cultural and multi religious area. I didn't realise places till had Sunday closing. I can see how it could cause problems. I personally don't think it matters which day we set apart for God and for relaxation so long as we take that time apart. Where I am in Austraila, which is rural NSW, all the shops are open and the same applies in other areas of Sydney that have a large Jewish population. The shops certainly don't close to accomodate their religious beliefs but leave it up to the individual and the Lord to work out how they worhsip and honour him and take that needed rest time.

I imagine that it could be a great time to pray and praise God for his creation, among other things. I ofen find when doing mundane things, like dusting or hanging out washing, it frees the mind to think about our Mighty God and creator. Why We All Need a Sabbath - Blog Entry29 May 2007 11:28 PM Good points made. I like the way you broke it up into four specific areas as to why we need this time of rest Who is Responsible? - Blog Entry22 May 2007 07:33 PM Hi Andrea, Thanks for taking time to comment. Good point about parents being led to church by their children. It made me think of such a family years ago. The child was part of our Sunday School. I was teaching Sunday school at the time and took it upon myself to visit the parents of all children in my class and let them know what the chidlren were learning in Sunday school. Mostl parents I visited were happy to receive a visit. several ended up coming to family services and this one family where the parents had wandered away from God re-committed and later became active members of the church and great at bringing others. So it ended up a ripple effect When Does Satan Attack? - Blog Entry21 May 2007 06:09 PM Hi Amy, I enoyed reading your blog. So true. Wish I'd have found it earlier when writing one about 'when things go wrong.' I'm only new to the Famiies.com blogging caper as A Christain blogger. So I'm still in the stage of having all my blogs checked before they go up on the site. My blog about when things go wrong should be up today I guess as I drafted it yesterday.
