Over the last couple of years my wife and I have both come to a Reformed position on observing the Christian Sabbath. It probably comes as no surprise, that there are family and friends (including some from our former church) that do not share that view. So a new hurdle for us seems to be in having to decline invitations, etc. for activities on the Lord's Day that (even within the last few years) we would have participated in without much (if any) hesitation.
Can anyone offer any advice on how to kindly and lovingly tell people (when necessary) that as a family we reserve the Lord's Day for worship?
Perhaps the way to approach the issue is different with, say, a non-Christian extended family member than it would be with a Christian friend, but I've been thinking about it throughout the day today and I feel like I don't have any really good responses. Thanks in advance for your help.
