In Romans 14:15-16 Paul writes, “One person regards one day above another, another regards every day alike. Each person must be fully convinced in his own mind. He who observes the day, observes it for the Lord, and he who eats, does so for the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and he who eats not, for the Lord he does not eat, and gives thanks to God.”

I generally fall in line with the “regards every day alike” category. Sunday is no more special to me than Saturday or Tuesday or Friday. If you think Sunday is a special day, than that is fine with me. However, one thing has me perturbed about our Sunday tradition as Christians. From my experience, there is usually a pretty high emphasis on attending Sunday morning church meetings. A lot of Christians believe it is wrong to work on Sunday because it interferes with meeting on Sunday mornings. These same people often times attribute the command to rest on the Sabbath (Saturday) with resting on Sunday (not the Sabbath). But many of these same people have a tradition of going out to eat after their church meetings on Sunday. Of course this means that they are in essence supporting the working class on a day that they feel it is wrong to work on.

So, if you believe it is wrong to work on Sunday, do you support other people working on Sunday? If so, how do you justify this?
