I was thinking today…what if our lives were visible to everyone through television. They could see everything we were doing but the sound was turned completely off. What would they learn about our priorities and our faith from what they saw if they couldn’t hear our words? Hmmmmm.
Stanley Hauerwas said “Most of us professing Christians, from liberals to fundamentalists, remain practical atheists in most of our lives.”

I have a sort of different way of looking at this. I am going to take this question from the context that our lives are visible to those around us as though we are being seen on television and that what we are doing is done without the sound and may or may not be conveyed as Christian or Atheist. So with that in mind, here is my comment: I was sitting in church today listening to a great surmond and it inspired me to say this. Luke 16:10 “He who is faithful in what is least is faithful also in much; and he who is unjust in what is least in unjust also in much. If we aspire to live up to this, we can start off by being faithful with the little things in life, putting our trash in our cars in the trash cans and emptying the sink of dishes each day. If that is a area that you struggle with and desire to be a maintenance foremen someday. That is how we keep our priorities and how we are showing faithfulness and not only that but we are being faithful in the little things. Pretty soon it won’t even seem like we are doing it out of a chore because it will be habit that comes nature. Can you imagen if we took the time everyday to read the word and then after a while that became habit? Like on your lunch break? Or on your bus ride? Fit it in and pretty soon it will be habit.

Loved that, it inspired me to read me bible whenever I can find a couple of minutes and not to make it an overwhelming thing that I have to spend hours on. Begin where you are and grow your habit from there.
