I am working to be better about honoring the Lord's Day.
I do not purchase anything (including food) that requires another person to be working to do business with me.
Let's say though that before an evening service I am working with another church member on setting up some electronic software for church. We need to use the church's debit card to start the software subscription. We are doing work for the church, and we are putting in debit card information into a system that is processed electronically and does not involve another person to process our typing.
This all takes much less time that counting up the tithes/offerings and creating the deposit slip for Monday.
Did we violate the 4th Commandment? Nehemiah 10:31 comes to mind, but no human had to carry goods or work to serve our purchase?
