According to Law, our faith is supposed to impact every aspect of our lives. He touches on the importance of prayer, and emphasizes that a holy prayer is no good without a holy lifestyle, and vice versa! One of the bigger parts of the reading is when Law explains that so many Christians get caught up in going to church that we don't act out our faith outside of the building! Going to church is very important, but Jesus never instructed us to go to church weekly, he urged us to live out our lives in love, acceptance, forgiveness, etc. Those things are more important.
In my life, I feel like my faith has influenced how I look at people in forgiving and accepting them. After all of the forgiveness that i've seen poured onto my life, I'm compelled to accept and forgive others. Christ and the church have loved me so well, that the way I welcome others into my life has been completely shifted around! When we let our faith impact our lives, our actions and thoughts are changed due to the shifting that has happened inside of us.
