Hey Sabbath Breakers, There's Hope for You
We live in a 24/7 culture. So readily has this mindset been accepted that the idea of requesting a Sunday off of work, for religious reasons, seems quaint or old fashioned. For some of us, fears of potentially losing our jobs, or not getting hired if we request off on Sundays, has put us in a position to compromise the idea of a Sabbath, or to rationalize it away as an Old Testament concept that no longer applies.
This link may help you to address the issue in a new way, thanks to a court ruling favoring a librarian who was fired for being forced to work on Sundays but has now been reinstated to her old job with Sundays off.
Sabbath keeping is still a biblical teaching. You may reinterpret it in different, appropriate ways, but breaking the Sabbath is not an option. The Sabbath was made for man (woman). It is another one of God's gifts to us.

Scripture does say that it's wrong to treat the Sabbath day like any other day, with disregard. It is holy time. It must be treated with deep respect. It is GOD's day, so it should belong to Him! We must not take His time, and treat is as worthless, or abuse it for our own personal pleasures and "fun." Therefore, am I to conclude that it isn't acceptable to use the Sabbath Day to go to ball games, sports activities, or to play vigorous games, such as baseball, basketball, volleyball, or football. Wouldn't these types of activities constitute an abuse of the Sabbath? How many people today truly follow what it really means to Keep the Sabbath Day Holy? Curious to know!

The New Testament teaches us that Jesus has become our Sabath. We are to keep not just one day holy, but to keep each day holy and to find our rest in the personage of Christ.
