Faithfulness
An interesting insight from William Law,
"The person who dares not say an ill-natured word or do an unreasonable thing because he or she considers God as everywhere present performs a better devotion than the person who dares not miss the church. To live in the world as a stranger and a pilgrim, using all its enjoyments as if we used them not, making all our actions as so many steps toward a better life, is offering a better sacrifice to God than any forms of holy and heavenly prayers."
I wish the media covered Christians who lived the way Law describes. They are out there and some are my friends. Unfortunately, the media chooses to cover embarrasing displays of Christianity, like this one...http://www.thatvideosite.com/video/2178 Please excuse the header at the top of the media player screen on the link.
What an embarrassment. May you and I live better, Christ centered, grace-filled lives.
