A: We do not know if we will live to see the world five minutes from now let alone a day, week, month, or year from now. The time to radically pursue obedience is now because who knows whether we will even have a chance later. So I suggest you speak with your boss and explain your situation. Federal law allows for most employees to take time off for religious observances and such. If there’s no way get time off on Saturday, then you will need to pray that God provides for you a new job and then start looking for another. Unless of course your vacation time can cover it, then that’d probably be your best option. People who have careers where human lives depend on them – doctors, firefighters, etc. – may fall into a different category because saving life during an emergency is a righteous act.

to get time off for the Sabbath,i.e. from sunset on Friday, you always can discuss it with your boos. Lots of works do finish around 5 pm so this would only give problems from autumn to early Spring, the working hours falling in daylight time or when it is still dark on Friday morning. Asking to start earlier on Friday can help, so that you can go home before sunset.
About the Saturday you can ask to change hours with somebody who works on the Sunday. Or when there is no worktime on Sunday you can take the official two days off per week on Saturday and Sunday.
Though for those who have the busiest working day on Saturday or on Sunday, they should not worry to take a day to worship God on an other day. Every day is a day of God and any day in the week can be used to worship God and to take the necessary rest.
For those who think they can only take a Sabbath rest because of the Mosaic Law, they should sincerely think about their attitude and wonder if they really live up to all the regulations of that law and also do not set others then to work on such day, for their own use.
Much too often we do find people who say a Christian does have to keep the Sabbath, because otherwise he would sin, but at home they indulge themselves in entertainment, often not worth a Christian eye, and watch television, having others work for their entertainment on that day and as such setting others to sin, which is a sin in itself as well.
