It has been said that the unhappiest people aren’t unbelievers, but those who claim to be Christian but do not commit their whole lives to Christ. As followers of Jesus we are set apart.

In an age of shouting, learning to listen and empathize is a step forward. But our stance toward other people cannot end with simply feelings or thoughts. Love is truly experienced when it is put into practice. When we engage with others in a real way in the world each day, life becomes both interesting and well-lived.

If Jesus is truly Lord, then the implications impact our entire lives. We cannot keep faith in a box to open up and occasionally use to solve problems. Instead, we must consider our entire lives according to this truth. The risen Lord is a 24/7 reality that effects our commitments, vocations, relationships, and leisure time.
