THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS "SECULAR"!

Do you realize, there is no such thing as "secular" in the life of a believer....dare I go even further in saying that the word "secular" should not even exist, considering ALL are IN CHRIST, even though many don't realize it yet. It is up to us who know, to share this Good News! 
IN HIM we live and move and have our being. This is spoken by Paul to unbelievers. I like how Steve McVey puts it, "You are a container and conduit of the very life of Jesus Christ."
 
This is the Good News of which so many are still unaware, this the reason so many are not experiencing Christ's Life through His finished work.
When you are finally awakened to this truth, you then realize that wherever you go, you take His grace and kingdom with you. Wherever you go, you go in partnership with Him, taking His presence and displaying Him for the world to see.
We are His Body on display on this planet. As He is, so are we in this world.
Everything about your life is holy and sacred. Not one aspect of your life is secular.
Change your thinking....live the person you are....totally holy, sanctified and righteous. That's who you are. Believe it!
 
 AW Tozer, The Pursuit of God
This is the old sacred-secular antithesis. Most Christians are caught in its trap. They cannot get a satisfactory adjustment between the claims of the two worlds. They try to walk the tight rope between two kingdoms and they find no peace in either. Their strength is reduced, their outlook confused and their joy taken from them.

I believe this state of affairs to be wholly unnecessary. We have gotten ourselves on the horns of a dilemma, true enough, but the dilemma is not real. It is a creature of misunderstanding. The sacred-secular antithesis has no foundation in the New Testament. Without doubt a more perfect understanding of Christian truth will deliver us from it.
