I’m not but I am

Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil.
(Ephesians 5:15-16 – ESV)

I am not saying you have to live in the church but I am saying you have to live like the church

I am not saying you should always be on your knees but I am saying pray without ceasing

I am not saying you should always have your nose in the Bible but I am saying let the Word of God dwell in you richly

I am not saying that everything you do has to be spiritual but I am saying that your spirituality should inform and guide everything you do

I am not saying to neglect your family for your spirituality but I am saying you do neglect your family if you don’t involve them with your spirituality

I am not saying you should witness to everyone you see but I am saying your life should be a witness to everyone who sees you

I am not saying you have to give up everything fun for Jesus but I am saying that if Jesus were with you in person would what you are doing still be fun?
