	Many Christian denominations view Sunday as the Sabbath, especially
among Presbyterian and Reformed churches.  Since God's Law, expressed in the
Ten Commandments, is just as applicable to us today, we are still obligated
to keep God's Sabbath holy just as we are obligated not to commit adultery
or make graven images.  The Sabbath was a creation ordinance (1 day of rest 
in 7) and has never been undone.  It was meerly reissued at the time of 
the Mosaic law.

	Since the New Testament indicates that early Christians worshipped 
together on the first day of the week, we have good reason to move the 
Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday.
