When Godly People Do Ungodly Things...

by Beth Moore...
I had to share this with you...it's something in my workbook from a bible study I've been doing (title). Monday night was our last week...
Pursue and practice the sincere and sanctified life in the world.
This means behaving consistently whether we're in the world or in church. Believers experience much guilt from practicing the chameleon life of environmental adaptation. We only find relief when we ask God to invade our life and personality so fully that we become the same person at the shopping mall or restaurant that we are in church.
Stated another way, something is wrong if our coworkers would be shocked to learn that we go to church. Most believers don't work in environments where preaching to coworkers is part of their job description, but would coworkers find our behavior inconsistent with our professed belief system at church? Consistency is a tremendous relief and a vital component in a clean conscience.
The reason I write this is because I was once like this - 2 different people. I am slowly, but surely getting there. It has been a long road for me, but God is getting me where I need to be spiritually - for myself, my children & my husband. It's amazing watching (learning) the process. I hope that each of you that read this will allow it to sink in....then ask yourself the question "Do I behave consistantly in the world as I do in church?" If you do not attend church ask yourself this - would your friends by surprised to know that you pray daily?

On another note...here's the scrapbook box I made. I ended up doing it for Shelby and her friends. It's really cute in person! It's a 4.5x.4.5 box (with lid) that has white paper (covered in prints and solids) that zig zag into the box! I bought the box at WM for 67 cents and added everything to it myself!
