The Sacrament of Living.

This term in cell group, we've been reading The Pursuit of God, by A.W. Tozer. It's been challenging, both because of Tozer's style of writing and because of the content; each chapter brings new blessings and challenges. The very last chapter is about letting everything that we do, be done for the glory of God, and not separating our lives into "sacred" and "secular" compartments.

Let every man abide in the calling wherein he is called and his work will be as sacred as the work of the ministry. It is not what a man does that determines whether his work is sacred or secular, it is why he does it. The motive is everything. Let a man sanctify the Lord God in his heart and he can thereafter do no common act. All he does is good and acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. For such a man, living itself will be sacramental and the whole world a sanctuary. His entire life will be a priestly ministration.

I like this excerpt because it sums up the mindset I've been trying to adopt this past term. I've been working on making my faith more real and transparent, something that encompasses my whole life. It's been really hard... I can definitely see the areas that are harder to submit. I've also been trying harder not to let my work define me.

I'll slowly post something about each chapter, that will hopefully keep me posting regularly for awhile again. Maybe after finals though!
