"Christianity"

Author unknown

To some people Christianity is little more than ritualism, pageantry, pomp and ceremony. Such was the attitude of the Pharisees concerning the religion established by Moses. For them ritualism, ceremony, pageantry and show were everything; character and conduct were nothing.

Christianity is not pageantry, pomp, ritualism and ceremony. Christianity is right living in the various relationships of life.

• In the home Christianity is love, kindness and the training of children in the way they should go.

• In business, Christianity is diligence, honesty and fairness.

• In society, Christianity is courtesy and helpfulness.

• In the church, Christianity is faithfulness, humility, love, soberness, righteousness and godliness.

• Toward God, Christianity is reverence and obedience.

• Toward the poor, Christianity is helpfulness.

• Concerning self, Christianity is glorifying God with the body and the spirit.
