“One of the greatest hindrances to internal peace which the Christian encounters is the common habit of dividing our lives into two areas, the sacred and the secular. As these areas are conveived to exist apart from each other and to be moraly and spiritually incompatible, and as we are compelled by the necessitites of living to be always crossing back and forth from one to the other, our inner lives tend to break up so that we live a divided instead of unified life.”
“The sacred-secular antithesis has no foundation in the New Testament.”
“Paul’s sewing of tents was not equal to his writing of an Epistle to the Romans, but both were accepted of God and both were true acts of worship. Certainly it is more important to lead a soul to Christ than to plant a garden, but the planting of the garden can be as holy an act as the winning of a soul.”
