How holy are we the other 6 days of the week?

Man, I know that after having a bad week or a week where I let the bad get the best of me, church on Sunday feels like a fresh start. Almost like a long shower after a long day at work, or a nice bath for you women! Just refreshing. I have been to church and then left to only get mad at people in traffic and go nuts. Now granting the fact that I live in Texas, it seems like i get a free pass sometimes in that department. But in actuality, I don't. It is easy to speak and act proper in the presence of Christians, but how do we act when we are alone. When you are all alone, the way we act is the person we really are, our true selves. Now let's talk about leadership. Leadership is not measured by how people act when you are around, but rather they people act when you are not around. How much have you really influenced them. This goes beyond just faith, but in the workplace as well. What kind of Christian example are we setting Monday through Saturday? Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure Philippians 2:12-13. Being a Christian means you cannot take a day off because you never know whose path you might cross and make an impact on. Christ put that person in your path for a reason. So everyday is a Holy one, we just celebrate publicly, as a congregation, once a week, on average. Remember, God is preparing you for what He has prepared for you.......Father, our God, out prayer is that we continue to worship you everyday in a manner worthy of your love so that through us Your name can be glorified....in Jesus' Holy name we pray....Amen
