Isaiah 61:7-8. for your shame ye shall have double; and for confusion they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess the double : everlasting joy shall be unto them. for I the Lord love judgment, I hate robbery for burnt offering; -
God cannot endure that we should sacrifice to him what we have gained by oppression and wrong-doing. Some men seem to try to cut themselves in halves, and then to say, "So much is to be secular, and so much is to be sacred." Do not you believe it; you are only one man, and what you are in secular things, that you are altogether. You cannot say, "So much is to be religion, and so much is to be business." If your religion is not your business, and if your business does not melt into your religion, there is not much that is good in you. We cannot say, "I shall do this because it is religion, and I shall do that because it is business." no, no; the man is one, and there is nothing to a Christian that can be marked off as secular; for all things are sacred to the man who truly serves God.
