Doing Church?

I Heard an interesting comment the other day.
A lady was speaking to someone else and said"We do the Church Thing every Sunday". My thought was and...?.....?
Being a Christian is not just going to Church on Sunday then turning it off for another week. It's a way of life.
If you dedicate your life to God as a Christian then it involves everything that happens to you. That's why many refer to being born again.
If you are cut off in traffic do you blow your horn and make an obscene gesture? Or,do just shake your head and say oh well, I guess they were in a big hurry.
If you see a dirty ragged man on a street corner do you turn your head the other way and continue on or do give him a couple of dollars and say "God Loves You".
If a fellow employee comes to you angry with something you did how do you act? Do you cut them off briskly, or do you try nicely to see it from their viewpoint?
If you are going to live as a Christian , how often do you pray? Prayer is more than saying grace before meals, or giving thanks at church, or even kneeling before you go to bed at night.
Prayer is talking to God and you can do it all the time. If you listen to praise and worship music in you car as you drive to work, that's prayer. Especially if you sing along. ( And God doesn't even care if you can carry a tune.) When something good happens," say thank you Lord." If you see a pretty sunset, thank Him for the gift of beauty.
I pray so often that I am sometimes surprised when I hear myself . It's just part of being a Christian. Try it, remember that prayer is an all the time thing. Just like being a Christian. Deacon Harry
