Tonight I am moving on to chapter 6 of Mike Erre’s book Why Guys Need God. The title of this chapter is acutally naked and unashamed.  Toawrds the beginning of this chapter I found this paragraph

To be made of flesh and blood is good because God said so.  Being a pastor is not more Christian than being a mortgage broker, nor is praying more Christian than eating.  Paul says that whatever you do, even eating and drinking, you should do to the glory of God.  I don’t know if Paul could have picked two more mundane activities than eating and drinking.  If our eating and drinking can glorify God, so can almost all human endeavors.

You know I htought about this paragraph for awhile.  Often times we think something is more Christian than something else.  In fact we have stuck the christian label on almost everything around us.  We simply stick the word Christian in front of something and it just makes no sense.  We have christian mints, t-shirts, knives, flashlights, energy drinks and more htese are just a few of the things we label Christian.  Does it somehow become better becasue we have stuck Christian in front of the name.  One things is not necesarioy more Christian than the other.  Here is the thing in no matter what I do I need to glorify God.  Not matter what it is even in the mundane I must look to how I can glorify God in it.
