“To  a  man  who  lives  unto  GOD  nothing  is  secular,

            everything  is  sacred.  He  puts  on  his  workday  garment
            and it is a vestment to him. He sits down to his meal and
            it is a sacrament. He goes forth to his labor, and therein

            exercises  the  office  of  the  priesthood.  His  breath  is
            incense and his life a sacrifice. He sleeps on the bosom

            of GOD and lives and moves in the divine presence.”


            “When  we  believe  in GOD,  we  believe  in  a  CREATOR,
            that everything is of GOD.”


            Just so that we can be clear: there is no such thing as a
            secular  world.  By that,  we  mean that there is  no  such

            thing  as  the  world  apart  from  GOD.  “There  can  be  no
            world  without  GOD,  or  a  world  existing  in  a  “neutral

            zone.”    The  Awesome  GOD,  who  created  the  heavens
            and the earth, sustains  our  very existence.  HE  has  not
            made HIMSELF absent, nor endowed the world so that it

            has  existence  apart  from  HIM.  We  have  created
            ideological zones in which we try to remove all reference

            to GOD or control behavior in such a way that it can be
            perceived  apart  from  GOD,  but  these  are  mere

            intellectual  tricks.  We  cannot  make  GOD  disappear,
            regardless  of  our  ideas  or  declarations.  GOD  is  simply
                                                       49
            everywhere present, filling all things.”
