We know we can't be spiritually transformed by just focusing on the will.
Dallas Willard

When we think of taking Christ into the workplace or keeping Christ in the home, we are making our faith into a set of special acts. The specialness of such acts just underscores the point - that being a Christian, being Christ's isn't thought of as a normal part of life.
