(J.R. Miller, "Help for the Day")
Religion and common life are not two different and distinct things. We may not cut our existence in two parts, and say, "Over this Christ shall rule--but over that He shall have no control."
True religion knows no difference between Sunday and Monday, so far as the ethics of life are concerned. Each day brings its own specific duties; but there are not moral precepts for the one day which are suspended when its sun sets, that for six days a mitigated or less holy law may prevail. Holiness is to be the Christian's dress all the week through, in every hour's conduct. All pleasures and amusements must be tested by the unvarying rule of right. The standard of perfect purity cannot be lowered.
"Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, " 2 Peter 3:11
