Let’s try to set the record straight here.  There should be a separation of church and state, to keep the godless tyrants out of church matters.

But there should be no separation between Church and man.  The way we act in church ought to be the way we act outside the church.

It would be ideal if our life outside the church we’re seamlessly intertwined with the way we act when in the church.  To put it another way, “Everything Christ all the time”.

When this is not the case we stand on the verge of hypocrisy.  And it doesn’t matter who is and who is not!  This truth remains despite our obedience.  And isn’t this the very root of encouragement in Christ?
