There Is Nothing Secular

Brian said something that spoke to me in one of his archived talks as he was going through the Sermon on the Mount. "For the Christian there is nothing secular." Amen! May all Christians take that to heart and never forget it.

May we never forget that the whole world belongs to God.

May we never forget that we are working for Christ.

May we use everything in his service. Our "natural" abilities, our spiritual gifts, our resources, and our position in life. Because, really, its not ours anyway. Its all his.

May we remember that in every thing we do, at every place we go, with every person that we meet, at every time, there is an opportunity to serve our Lord in some way.

May we never be content to have God in our lives only for an hour on Sundays.

May we never be content to let "the church" do the service work, as if we were not part of the body of Christ ourselves.

May we never be content to shove prayer only into a 5 minute time slot every night and maybe now and again before we eat.

May we never be content to know the gist of God's Word without opening it up and studying it with a pure heart.

May we always love and serve the Lord with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength, doing everything for his glory. If we do that, guess what? There's nothing left. There's nothing for another master. There's no separation of the "sacred" and the "secular". There's no putting God in a box.

Grace and Peace
