I am one who has just come out of the closet as a BR... which I guess I am perhaps. Still not sure.


But, I hold to the 1689 and generally agree with its words on the sabbath.


I prefer to call the Sabbath, however, the Lord's Day since that was the NT word for it. Also, when it comes to refraining from "worldly amusements" I buck at this as a phrase open to many interpretations.

So, am I a "Sabbatarian" or not?

I usually shrink from this phrase because I associate it with some of the practice of the Scots, who I have read developed many specific rules about how to keep the sabbath. Nonetheless, the Lord has not abrogated any of the 10 commandments because the 10 commandments are a summary of his moral law, which can never change.

My own practice is to play with my son extra-much on the Lord's Day and make an extra effort to spend time with family, one of God's chiefest gifts. This is not "worldly" amusement, but good stewardship and enjoyment of a holy gift of God. We also teach stories, often Bible stories, and sometimes I take long walks.
