How we view life?

Do you have a sacred secular divide? We all instantly say no, but how do you answer the following questions?

1. Have any of your work colleagues ever been into your home for a meal?
2. Have any of your work colleagues ever been into your home for a meal with friends from church?
3. How about your friends?
4. Do I talk about church, the church family, the Bible and Jesus as part of my every day conversations with my work colleagues and my friends?
5. Do you pray as regularly about your witness and issues you face at work as you do about other things?
6. In church is news from the canteen, or staff room as valued as news from the mission field?
7. How do I think of my work/daily life? Is it something I just do or is it a way of serving God?
8. Do I see myself as a missionary to my work place, gym, club?

If the answer to any of those questions is no then we have a sacred secular divide in the way we live. The Bible says that is not the way to live life. In fact in John 17 Jesus prays that his disciples would be in the world not of it. It is only as people see our faith expressed in all of life, as they get to rub shoulders with the community of faith that they will realise it is not just us, that there are lots of people who believe as we do and that will make them think about the gospel.
