The spirit and practice of Sabbath keeping

We had an excellent meeting in Stornoway last night at which Ian Hamilton spoke on 'the spirit and practice of Sabbath keeping'. I'm not sure why the confessional position of the first day of the week being the Christian Sabbath is under such attack within contemporary evangelicalism; nor do I understand what is to be gained by spiritualising away the one day of the week God has given us in which we may legitimately lay aside our work and fulfil our duty. As Ian said, our heavenly Father, like us, loves having his family together! Ian's address is well worth listening to: I've posted it on my blog here.
