However, please note that the Biblical, true Christian Sabbath is the seventh day of the week, sunset Friday to sunset Saturday. One can search the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, and nowhere does God or Jesus change the Sabbath to the first day of the week, nor has it been abolished. Sunday is a day ordained by men. Also note that the Sabbath is the fourth of the Ten Commandments. I hope that those reading this will prayerfully consider the truth of the matter, and follow the Bible, rather than traditions of men. Let’s all learn God’s will for us from the Bible, and live in obedience as a result (not a cause) of our salvation. Leviticus 23:3, Exodus 20:8-11, Genesis 2:2-3

I’m sure this inspires nostalgia in some, but for me it points to the great Sabbath rest we currently have in Christ and which will be even fuller than we can imagine. Thank you!

Modern day so-called Christianity is dishonest. On one hand professing Christians are at pains to impress upon you their great love for the scriptures, whilst on the other they blatantly ignore the parts which contradict their preferred agenda. The two offending doctrines which the professing Christian church has long since dispensed with are sin and the Sabbath day. Because of this their religion is just self deceit – a dead empty shell which will crumble away at the end.

I grew up in a similar environment in Lochcarron in the West Highlands where the only activity on Sunday was walking to church and the elders had the courage to go and speak to a newcomer who was hanging out her washing.

Even before I was converted this kind of Sabbath rest was a blessing. Because of how I had been taught,I never felt guilty about not studying on the Lord’s Day and greatly benefited from the rest.

It saddens me that since coming to North America, I’ve been accused of “Legalism’ and ‘Galatianism’ and professing Christians have been in the forefront in such condemnation. How I pray that ministers would return to a proper understanding of the place of the Moral Law of God and define clearly that ” Sin any want of conformity or transgression of the Law of God”.

I come from England and I’ve been to Lewis a few times now, and I love the place. It has a stillness to it you rarely find. So rare in fact when I went to Stornoway to worship I couldn’t get over how much quieter the place was compared to where I’d been brought up!
