To attempt to make every day a worship day in the similar fashion as what God decreed in the Old Testament, is to go against what God decreed in the Old Testament.

To say that we keep every day as a Sabbath is against God's command that six days should be spent working. That means, to rest seven days a week is unbiblical.

Jobless, unemployed people are probably the closest to come to a seven day rest. But even in this situation, stopping to work is not equal to resting on Sabbath, although it is a requirement.

People should worship God every day and work but on the Seventh-day, Saturday, from Friday sundown to Saturday sundown, the Bible is clear: it is a day of rest and worship to God and no work.

There is not a single verse in both the Old and New Testament that asks us to celebrate every day as a Sabbath. It would have been such a revolutionary decree by Jesus or anyone else that it would ignore civilization duties and community services if everyone is sitting day by day in church.

Then to work seven days and just go to church in the evenings, is also not biblical. Jesus went to the synagogue on Saturday Sabbaths, "as it was His custom". Surely a custom I wish to follow.
