In everything we do and say beyond Sunday....everything? How we treat each other after the Church services on Sunday? How we guard the Word in light of Jn.8:51 also beyond Sunday? Can we dabble in the world when no one is watching us during the week?

I'd say yes to all questions but one: what do you mean by dabble in the world?

No dabblin here Ol Jack.............................that was all washed out, away, extinquished, capoot....when we were saved..........
The world hurts our ears, head, heart, flesh...and most defintely..................our new spirit.
If I go to the world........Jesus sits in the car...............that is if i join the world..............now if I take Jesus with me to the lost.......
Then things get done....But He drives.........for He layed on my heart where to go into the world.

And I'm like you 24/7..... always battling..........striving to win.......

Many say satan or hell doesn't exist.....................exactly what satan wants them to believe.
Many say...I don't give the devil the time of day.................exactly.........why should he bug you.

Christians need to be threat to this adversary..........................

Thank you again for your response!

Not having much time to get into the Word and prayer except to tell others "God bless you," and place the Bible on the dash so others can see how religious you are. The rest of the week T.V., parties, Vegas, and etc, ie, anything but the Word till Sunday then make sure you sit in the front row with the Bible open sort of thing...more of the world during the week than in the world.

Great! You're a threat to me now with your full on 24/7, however going to now praise our Lord now 25/8 instead of 24/7, ie, He should be happy with this. Michael the archangel worked over the devil long ago, and he's still trying to recover.

What a friend we have in the Godman Jesus. No time for T.V. and Vegas...time too short, his Return thus the Word even in our sleep. You won't make any money or influence Christian friends on a full on 24/7?

The way I see it, if it wasn't for the spreading of the gospel to the lost God would have saw fit to remove us from this world ASAP. Imagine if anyone that accepted the gospel immediately dropped dead... I doubt there would be many takers for the gospel.

I agree, we pull ourselves away from the T.V., postpone that trip to Disney land and Vegas, and go and tell someone about Jesus. Or we just show up to Church on Sunday letting them get the Word out? I choose the former without neglecting the latter.

We should live as Christ's servants would because if have Him as our Lord then we are His servants and should live as such.

I tend to think we need a lifetime of practice loving God and neighbor
