Theological differences aside, I respect them for standing by their beliefs.
I’ve never in my life seen a calendar like that, where did you find it?
God defined the Sabbath, not Christians.
Secular NCAA teams have no issue with scheduling Sunday games if they can get a TV slot.
See, for example, the Notre Dame - Texas matchup set for Sunday, September 4, 2016.
Last year, Purdue played Marshall in a Sunday game.
Sure they would, and if anyone didn't agree with them, then they would say they are obviously a bunch of racists.
Unfortunately, Islam has been appointed to be the defacto darling religion of the government, and other lap dog entities. What slime bags.
Bravo. With all the groups out there pushing homo/lesbo/transgender this/cis-gender that, it is both refreshing and encouraging to see a group take a stand like this.
One could argue about observing the Sabbath just as one could argue about telling “little, white lies”.
Most European calendars that I have seen are based on Monday being the first day of the week.
"L-rd's Day,"
The what?
FYI, if you’re driving into Chattanooga, Tenn. eastward on I-24 and look over at Lookout Mountain and see what looks like a castle in the clouds, that’s Covenant College. Very pretty sight.
We have the benefit of driving up to Lookout Mountain "the back way" through Rome, Summerville, Menlo. etc. along a fantastic ridge on Hwy 157 from Cloudland and then through the CC campus.
We drive it Spring and Fall and it is never a disappointment. Although we are so close to the Alabama line that we always make sure that we have our Passports with us, just in case...
Indeed it’s laudable. Even though we aren’t PCA (we are Reformed Baptists), we are considering Covenant for our daughter. There aren’t many Reformed options.
Oh, well European calendars are obviously wrong. I mean, if French people use them, how right can they be?
I saw the same item today on Aquila Report. Good for Covenant for taking a stand on this.
For the people who are arguing about the correct day for Sabbath observance — you’re missing the point. If I saw a secular college respecting the right of a Seventh Day Adventist or an Orthodox Jew to not work on Saturday, or the right of a Roman Catholic to attend Mass on Good Friday, I’d be happy that the school was respecting religious freedom.
The issue is that people need to stand up for our religious freedoms or we will lose them. I think most Freepers will agree with that.
