Most of us attend church to receive grace, to pray for what we need. We come to with the idea of getting to know Christ better as a person - To enter more fully into His plans, not as servants but as friends. We come in order to put on Christ as our mantle and go into His waiting wonderful world and plain love, honor and respect every one of his creatures we meet in the market place, on the expressway, or down at the laundry-mat.
I ask everyone here: What kind of a fellowship would we experience at the laundry-mat. a Super-market, and expressway if we carried this spirit with us.
It would be terrible - why - people would look at people instead of ignoring them.We'll watch our safety rules on the road more closely, we'd watch our tongues, our tempers and dispositions at the water-coolers and in the kitchen. Oh, it'd be ghastly! No - - I'm afraid this tired ol' world might shake and die from fright if we'd "put on Christ and let our hearts and souls out of their tiny confining cages of conformity, complacency, and mistrust.
