A call for an integrated life

Jollyblogger: in a post entitled ‘Jessica Simpson – Hottest of the Hotties, and Christian Role Model?’ states

“Rather than being a total world and life view, for these stars Christianity has become one compartment of their lives, which doesn’t necessarily influence any other compartment.

And, lest we be guilty of picking of casting stones at stars like Jessica and Beyonce, let’s not forget that this ‘dis-integrated’ faith is not only found in Hollywood. This ‘dis-integration’ is found in football players who are honored for their faith on one day and visit a prostitute the next, in preachers who cheat on their wives, in businessmen who profess faith on Sunday and cheat on their taxes Monday, and in millions of people who want to accept Jesus as their savior but not as their Lord.

In saying all of this, I hope not to come across as saying that Jessica Simpson or Beyonce are evil, or worse than the rest of us. Ultimately, all of us have a ‘dis-integrated’ faith to some degree. Each of us has areas in our lives where our practice does not match our profession.”
