We are dead to the law by the body of Christ.

We are not to be judged on the basis of holy days, sabbaths, etc.

Matchett wrote an excellent essay above, and it makes twice in as many weeks that I've fully agreed with what was written.

My only caveat is that my freedom should be weighed against expediency. "All things are lawful to me, yet all things are not expedient."

To keep my message and focus consistent, I am holding service this Sunday morning. I can't very well complain about "Keeping Christ in Christmas" and then turn around and close the doors this Sunday.

Yet, I don't think my fellow pastors who close shop are sinning. I think they're making a bad decision, but not an unbiblical one.

Matchett makes some good points with regards to how our Sabbath rest is in Christ, not in a day. My pastor has preached on that pretty strongly.

But, it also is a literal day that we still are to observe.

That is why Matchett is wrong. He believes Lord's Day means nothing.
