In the ongoing discussion concerning celebrating Christmas, a discussion has evolved concerning whether or not it is lawful for the church to add a Christmas service (apart from the weekly Sabbath) and whether the attendance therein is mandatory for the Christian.
This discussion brings up a question in my mind concerning Wednesday evening church.
Many churches have a mandatory (i.e., they require all members to attend unless Providentially hindered) Wednesday evening church service.
Since becoming a Sabbatarian, I have come to see the attendance to the corporate gathering of the church on the Lord's Day as requisite to keeping the Sabbath holy.
Wednesday is not the Sabbath. Are churches that require attendance on Wednesdays (and/or any other day than the Lord's Day) binding the consciences of men without scriptural warrant?
