Description

Joseph Pipa takes an authoritative look at the 'first day.' This is an area of Church practice in which we find liberal interpretations practiced by evangelical churches and vice versa. Many of the issues which he discusses are considered unclear, with the result that we tend to adopt the unhealthy viewpoint of avoiding the subject all together.

Joseph Pipa asks the question: Are we missing out on God's blessing by the way we celebrate the Lord's Day, are we too legalistic, too lax? Is the Spirit grieved by our disrespect to God or frustrated by our thralldom to unnecessary restrictions? These and other questions are addressed by Pipa in a thoroughness in using Scripture and also in reference to the sayings of the Early Fathers of the Church.
