WHEREAS, Baptists traditionally have believed in and espoused the biblical teaching of the Lord’s Day and
WHEREAS, The truth is evident that society, the family, and the church fare better observing the Creator’s principle of cyclic work and rest, and
WHEREAS, The erosion of the Lord’s Day as a special day for worship and rest is constantly on the increase.
Therefore, be it RESOLVED, That this session of the Southern Baptist Convention strongly affirm the Judeo-Christian teaching of the Lord’s Day and encourage local congregations periodically to focus special emphasis on the meaning of keeping the Lord’s Day.
Be it further RESOLVED, That this session of the Southern Baptist Convention express concern over any move which further erodes the place of the Lord’s Day.
