PRCA: 1924-2024 Guarding the Lord’s Day landmark

Prof. Barry Gritters examines the Protestant Reformed Churches' historic commitment to Lord's Day observance as a theological landmark that must be guarded and maintained. Using the metaphor of ancient boundary stones, he argues that the fourth commandment's requirements—that Sunday be devoted entirely to God with work and recreation forbidden except for necessity and charity—remain binding in the modern era, and he challenges contemporary practices like livestream worship and vacation activities that may compromise this inheritance.
