From Spurgeon's Catechism

How is the Sabbath to be sanctified?

A. The Sabbath is to be sanctified by a holy resting all that day, even from such worldly employments and recreations as are lawful on other days (Lev. 23:3), and spending the whole time in the public and private exercises of God's worship (Ps. 92:1-2; Isa. 58:13-14), except so much as is taken up in the works of necessity and mercy (Matt. 12:11-12).

    So, Rod, where does blogging come in on that list? Is this post mercy or is it worship?

    Just givin' you a hard time, brother.

    Definitely a "work of necessity."

    After a Christian attends worship at their local church on Sunday morning, do you think it is Ok to:
    eat out
    play a sport
    watch a sport
    mow your lawn
    go fishing
    or go jogging?

    Thanks
