As I sat in service this morning(actually as I taught and preached), somethings came out of the scripture we were studying. Things that did not come out in my study last week. We were in 1 Corinth. 15 talking about the Resurrection.
As we read through verses that are often quoted what struck me was all the verses around them that are not. As we walked through them, my members began to put together the disconnect that Paul was talking about in Corinth. How they can believe in the Resurrection of Christ, but not in the Resurrection of the Body.
The same holds true today in some of those that call themselves believers. They say they believe in Christ, but yet they ignore His commands. They say they believe in Christ, but they do not help those around us. They say that they believe in Christ, but they are still out for number one.
We find it very easy to compartmentlize our lives. We can have our church life, our business life, our family life and our secret life. We do not see the problem with this type of lifestyle. BUt are we being a true person.
We believe at our church that worship is not music even though we can worship through music. (see simplystudentschurch.blogspot.com) We teach that worship needs to become a 24/7 lifestyle. By doing that, the disconnect goes away and we can truly become followers of Christ.

I totally agree with you...it's definately something that we need to be so intentional about, not falling into the trap of compartmentalizing our faith.
By the way, I tagged you on my blog!
