Church or action? Church AND action.

Our faith is the means by which we are to engage every aspect of our lives. This is something that William Law wrote about. He wrote that is it far more important to live out one's faith in every aspect in one's life than to be devoted to prayer or church. The bible, indeed, speaks more to the way one is to live than it does to how much one should go to church. I know that for myself it would be easy to only be holy at church. It would be easy to put on an act and "worship" and sing and have all the right things to say but then not let my faith impact my everyday life. I think that overall I am a pretty decent person. I try to do the right thing, obey the law, and tell the truth. But I know that one area, and it's pretty vast, that needs improvement is in my thoughts. I will not be flat out rude to someone, but isn't thinking rude thoughts just the same? My heart is so naturally selfish, and that is where my faith needs to work.  I have a far way to go before I can say that I honestly let my faith control every aspect of my life. Haste the day!
