Just received my copy of Nicholas Bownd's work on the Sabbath:
http://www.naphtali.com/2015/02/05/prepub-offer-sabbathum-veteris-et-novi-testamenti-or-the-true-doctrine-of-the-sabbath/
I was greatly interested in Bownd's understanding of Acts of mercy and necessity. It was of my opinion that doing any work on the sabbath day was frowned upon even in these instances if one was taking a salary. Bownd treats this subject excellently and seems to concur with my understanding.
I was recently approached by my manager about working various sabbath days. I told her that I cannot and when I was hired, that had been discussed. I did tell her however, that if she is stuck and no one available to cover the shift, I would gladly come in and then take my portion of gas and food from the payroll they give me and then give the rest of the funds to my church.
