There is no distinction between the sacred and secular

Here's a quotation from a man who's had a significant impact on my life:

 

For the Christian, there is no distinction between the sacred and secular.  Everything a Christian does is an expression of his faith. He does not make choices based on the religious significance of the alternative. As a Christian he makes the choice that is a logical extension of the values he has derived from his faith.

~ Mike Yaconelli

Amen. I've been trying to tear down that wall for some time. Now I do think things are sacred, but they are things WE set apart in such a way. And that sacred thing could be something that others see as secular.
