NOT SATURDAY; NOT SUNDAY; BUT EVERY DAY!

It is difficult to believe that after almost 2000 years, there are still groups of professing Christians who insist that the Church should be worshipping on the Sabbath (the seventh day of the week), and not on Sunday (the first day of the week).  The Apostle Paul wrote:
 
Romans 14:4-6 - "Who art thou that judgest another man's servant?  To his own Master he standeth or falleth.  Yea, he shall be holden up:  for God is able to make him stand.  One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike.  Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.  He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it.  He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks."

Galatians 4:9-11 - "But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage?  Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years.  I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labor in vain."

Colossians 2:12-17 - "Buried with Him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with Him through the faith of the operation of God, Who hath raised Him from the dead.  And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath He quickened together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses; blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to His cross;  and having spoiled principalities and powers, He made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it.  Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the Sabbath days:  which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ."

I believe the Church worships on Sunday because Christ rose from the dead "early on the first day of the week" (Mt. 28:1; Mk. 16:2, 9; Lk. 24:1; Jn. 20:1, 19)!  Also, the Church had its beginnings (its "birthday") on Pentecost, which always falls on the first day of the week (Lev. 23:14-21; Acts 2:1-47).  Later in Acts 20:7, we are told that the disciples met on the first day of the week, and in his letter to the Church at Corinth, Paul mentions that the offerings should be taken up on the first day of the week (1 Cor. 16:1-2).

Then there is the argument that every day belongs to the Lord!  Psalm 145:2 says, "Every day will I bless thee; and I will praise thy name forever and ever."  We are to "Pray without ceasing" (1 Th. 5:17).  We are to "...sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear" (1 Pet. 3:15)!
