Ideology/lifestrle

[Richard OFfill]

Some things to think about

What role does lifestyle play in ideology? And, conversely, what role does ideology play in the lifestyle?

Another question:

What eventually happens to a person who professes a certain ideology but whose lifestyle isn't consistent with what it teaches?

What do Christian standards have to do with being a Christian?

 I believe the answer is "Everything. Sooner or later, how we live indicates what we believe.

A tree is known by its fruit

[Listen]

A tree is known by its fruit

Luke 6:43-46  For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes.  A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.  And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?
