The confession states that the Lord's Day is for worship, and works of necessity and mercy. All books sold at a Church bookstore (is this a biblical ministry?) are available at other venues and outlets any other day of the week, where they can be bought--there is no necessity to buy on the Sabbath. As for mercy, if a book is really needed, give it away, or loan it. We have a Church library where the people are encouraged to check out books for their study. (Nehemiah 13.10ff)

Our best marks can contribute nothing to our justification, ...that is proper to faith. Faith cannot lodge in the soul alone, and without other graces; yet faith alone justifies before God.--G. Gillespie
