This article says how lay people wear two hats: they are believers and citizens....and their faith should permeate their life as a citizen

Of course any separation of the two roles is artificial....the two are inseparably intertwined....as in the case of someone who is both a parent and a spouse

Unfortunately it is often the case that many Christians wear one hat on Sunday, and another one Monday to Saturday....i.e. their Christian faith doesn't penetrate their daily lives...has little influence on the way they live, the way they do business etc

Jesus, please help all Christians to be 24/7 Christians!
