All Christian things are sacred, while all everyday things that have little or no relationship to God are
called secular. I am the type of person who attributes a lot of my success to my faith in God, and
everything that happens to me is because of him, even when I am expecting for something that is
currently difficult for me to obtain or that I cannot obtain because God does not want that for me. When
it comes to expressing my faith in situations where God is not the center of attention for others, my faith
is completely ignored. When someone says, "your thoughts are yours, and mine are others," we can see
a sacred/secular divide. Many people refuse to feel the spirit of God; there are those who live only in
their daily lives and do not care to look beyond the circumstances. Because of today's ignorance, we are
often prevented us from saying more than we think, value, and believe. There are individuals who only
communicates with you briefly and without allowing you to express your point of view. This This is a
method of limiting a person's ability to spread their faith in God. When we have a fear of expressing
ourselves because we do not live only for the worldly but also for the religious. Our beliefs, culture, and
mentality make it difficult for us to integrate into current culture because we don't want to offend
others, and our lack of confidence when speaking limits our ability to proclaim our faith. If we could
form relationships with our neighbors in the same way that Christ did, we would be able to share the
gospel without fear of being judged. But, if we have the chance to talk about God and our faith, we must
take advantage of the opportunity to show others how beautiful it is to live a spiritual life and have the
Holy Spirit work for us.
I do not believe that there has been a time in my life when the sacred and the secular have been
separated. I am a blessed woman because I grew up with a God-fearing mother. I have been raised in a
religious environment since I was a child, even in high school, which was a Catholic school. My faith in
God was strengthened here, and I was never restricted from discussing my faith and beliefs. My college
friends also share my values and beliefs. I want to emphasize that I do not present myself as a religious
woman in front of strangers, but if I have the opportunity to express my faith openly and respectfully
without disturbing others, I do so.
First and foremost, I believe we should abandon the division of facts and values because it limits
ourselves to first knocking on doors and hearts. We must do. I believe we should talk to people, build
relationships, and be a witness that God has called you to be a part of his kingdom. We must build those
bridges while remembering the importance of facts and values, and both must work together. True facts
cannot exist unless they are highly valued. It means that we must hold our values so dearly that they
become a fact and a way of life.
