Dilemma: Should I Pay My Taxi Driver On Sabbath?

Share

Hi BarelyAdventist readers,

I’m writing this in a cab on the way to church and I wanted to get your take on whether or not I should pay my driver.

I really would rather not pay my fare and I’m thinking I could use this as a witnessing opportunity. Maybe he’ll waive the fare if I tell him he shouldn’t be accepting payment on Sabbath.

Another idea I had is I could give him a GLOW tract instead of a strictly monetary fare. I could tell him what he’ll learn from the stewardship tract is priceless and he’ll thank me in the long run.

YIKES… we are getting close and I owe this guy most of what I was going to put in the offering plate.

Send up a prayer, we’ve just arrived and I’m gonna to tell him I’m not paying.

UPDATE… I’m now in the back of a police car. The cops are giving me a free ride to the station.
