Blueridge Believer
Puritan Board Professor
From time to time here at the PB people change thier postion on issues as is evident of those in the baptism issue. Our purpose as believers in these and all issues is to constantly to 'search the scriptures' to see if these things be true. I personally have had to make many changes in theology, especially after leaving dispensational premillinialism some 10 years ago. I have had to swallow my pride on many things in order to follow what I believe to be the teaching of the Word of God.
Over the last several months I have revisited the sabbath issue. I have had, what I believe now was a remnant of dispensationalism, several objections to the Lord's day being called the sabbath. I read read several books through the last few years and various writings by Puritan authors regarding the subject but was unconvinced of thier argument. However, I recently ran across two short books that 'burned my playhouse down' so to speak and answered my objections to the point that after much distress of soul I have changed my postion to embrace the sabbath postion as it is outlined in the 1689 LBCF in chapter 22.
The author ofthese two books is A.W. Pink. One is called "The Law and the Saint" and the other is "The Christian Sabbath". I highly reccomend these books to anyone struggling with the issue. It is not my intention to try and bind anyones conscience about the issue but simply to announce my change in postion about the matter.
As always I want to tell each and everyone of the members here at the PB that I greatly enjoy your fellowship in the Gospel and look forward by the providence of our Lord God to many years of enjoyment of it.
I am your servant in Christ,
brother James
