We must not cut our lives in two!

(J.R. Miller)

"Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God." 1 Corinthians 10:31

True religion is simply living out the principles of Christianity in one's ordinary week-day life! It is getting the Bible, and the prayers, and the church services--into thought and act and character!

We must not cut our lives in two, and call one part secular--governing it by one set of principles; and then regard the other part as sacred--to be controlled by another set of rules. ALL of life should be made sacred, in the sense that everything is to be done in such a way as to please God, under the direction of His counsel in His Word. We have just as much true religion, as we get into our week-day life--and not a whit more! Whatever we do, even to eating and drinking--we should do to the glory of the Lord Jesus!
