"It is a sign of trouble when the state starts pushing for Sunday
These kinds of initiatives, which aim to designate Sunday as the day to better our communities, are increasingly becoming more common. In this most recent case, political leaders in Costa Rica organized a smoke-free Sunday to encourage people to reduce car emissions, give up smoking, and to offer entertainment, food, sports, and leisure.
On February 18, 2024, La Teja News reported the following:
• “We take advantage of the ‘Smoke-Free Family Sundays’ organized by the municipality of San José on Paseo Colón to find out how informed families are about the real health risks caused by vaping.”
Many people mistakenly believe that Sunday is a special day for a variety of reasons, including religious ones..jpg)

*Government leaders around the world are setting aside Sunday for their citizens in order to build stronger social connections, strengthen family relationships, promote health, and improve climate conditions.
*However, inspiration says that many positive “moral reforms” will be combined with the Sunday movement in order to encourage people to return to church on this day.
That is the bottom line, whether or not people want to recognize it. And just like we saw in Costa Rica, politicians and governments will play a vital role in getting everyone together on Sunday."

“Here the temperance work, one of the most prominent and important of moral reforms, is often combined with the Sunday movement, and the advocates of the latter represent themselves as laboring to promote the highest interest of society … The leaders of the Sunday movement may advocate reforms which the people need, principles which are in harmony with the Bible, yet while there is with these a requirement which is contrary to God’s law, his servants cannot unite with them. Nothing can justify them in setting aside the commandments of God for the precepts of men” (Great Controversy, p. 587).
