Do we separate the holy things of God and things that is not so holy?
Like for example doing church work, going to church every week, praying like a Christian, worship like a Christian, talk like a Christian when we are in front of believers and so on..
I think we are very much in danger of behaving like a Christian but have not really tasted God’s presence in our life. All I can is that our judgment of spirituality can be deceiving at times just because we are behaving the Christian way. We tend to restrict ourselves to places that we cannot go, from mixing with non believers too much and sorts.. Christianity is not a matter of rules and regulations but having the right mindset to deal with the things that we consider as sinful, ‘not so holy’.. To have a renewed mind and help those who are in need. Like the lady who was caught in adultery and the religious leaders asked Jesus for the lady to be stone. The religious leader thinks that it is a sin to be touching the lady who was caught in adultery but Jesus acted out of compassion for her. We know the story...
I like the passage which speaks about the sheep and goats in Matthew 25:31-46 because this is what we are called to do and what really matters to God. A helping hand to the needy. The hungry, the sick, the homeless, without clothes, poor, disabled.
Bible study, prayer meeting, sunday morning worship, and all these activities means nothing unless we start to display them.
Oh God, we pray that we will be your hands and feet..
