"You Ought To Live Holy And Godly Lives"

The Christian's dress all the week

(J.R. Miller, "Help for the Day")

Religion and common life are not

two different and distinct things.

We may not cut our existence in

two parts, and say, "Over this 

CHRIST shall rule--

but over that HE shall

have no control."

True religion knows no

difference between Sunday

and Monday, so far as the ethics 

of life are concerned. 

Each day brings its own specific 

duties; but there are not moral 

precepts for the one day which 

are suspended when its sun sets,

that for six days a mitigated

or less holy law may prevail.

Holiness is to be the Christian's 

dress all the week through, 

in every hour's conduct. 

All pleasures and amusements 

must be tested by the unvarying 

rule of right. The standard of 

perfect purity cannot be lowered.

"You ought to live holy and 
godly lives" 2 Peter 3:11
