True Christianity is more than attending church services on Sundays before returning home and not thinking about your faith again for a full week. True Christianity is more than passively reading the Bible because that is what you are supposed to do. True Christianity is more than having good intentions that result in good actions some of the time. True Christianity is always intentional – and it is always hard work.
