Club Adventist
Welcome with open arms fellow believers who don’t see things the way you do.
And don’t jump all over them every time they do or say something you don’t agree with
– even when it seems that they are strong on opinions but weak in the faith department.
Remember, they have their own history to deal with. Treat them gently. Romans 14.1: The Message

First things First.

Once one gets to know Jesus ... the unpalatable becomes palatable. So, do we present Jesus or the unpalatable?

Presenting the Sabbath to someone who is nonconverted ... is just plain backwards. Most view the Sabbath as Jewish and legalistic. They reject legalism and thus will only be turned off with the SEVENTH DAY billboard. The early church started worshipping on Sunday in an attempt to distance themselves from the Jewish system that Jesus rejected. Why would this be attractive to them now unless they see Jesus. Our direction and focus always needs to return to JESUS.

Amen.

If you can't make friends with them without the Sabbath, adding it is not going to suddenly tip the balance in your direction.

Hiding it doesn't help, though, either. People will eventually ask, and sometimes you have to anticipate their reluctance to ask by breaking the ice for them. "Ever wondered why we're in church on Saturday instead of Sunday? Dya wanna come see what it's like? How bout we trade off going to each other's church? I can get points for bringing you as a visitor. They probably won't give you any points at your church for bringing a low-life like me, but ya never know."

Dear low life ... you bring up some good points. And I will gladly give you the points you deserve.
