Today. a large numbers of Christians lives limited
How,
1- we just go to church on Sunday
2- we pray there only
3- if we pray at home we do not do it with heart
4-we ask God to what we need , we do not ask God , what's God will
5-we do not read Bible
6- if we read we do not understand and follow
7- we do not care others and forgive
we need to live in God 24/7 , means 7 days and 24 hours of a day . read Bible and follow his will and pray in him and live in him
we are light , our works will be shown we are his sons and live in blood
we should limited in world and unlimited in God 24/7
And by "we," may I assume you really meant "you?"

Caring really isn't lecturing unknown others on what they're doing wrong.

In a discussion about cultivating a 24/7 walk with our creator, since it's so personal, arguing with others who just want to share their knowledge about how better to walk that walk is foolishness. it defeats the purpose.

The ball is here: how do we serve each other to better be able to apply those principles to our own relationships with God as a body?

What's wrong with sharing our knowledge about how to walk with God?

What do you mean by how we serve each other better? What's the difference between that and serving God 24/7??

We serve God as a body - not individually? How is that done??

If someone is falling short on 3 or 4 or more of those 7 on a consistent basis, they are probably not a functioning Christian.

Everything begins with our relationship with God. Our entire faith absolutely depends on it. 'Pray without ceasing', yes.

Focusing on why we can't do something because we don't like one thing a person said (straining a gnat and swallowing a camel) will get us nowhere.

Notice abraham, david, moses, the heroes of the faith. These guys, their hearts were to be with God, and so he was with them and they in turn together accomplished great things for the kingdom.

They were friends of God.

It starts with that friendship, a love, taking time. Being buddies with the Most High.

Giving you positives in an uplifting manner from my experience and scripture (my way of serving others here so that they might be able to benefit from what i have to bring to the table). Out of the head and into the heart. ;)

Where is the condemnation?
What the O.P. is stating is true.
Do you have some data showing that everyone who attends church is living a
Christianly life?

Maybe you go to a really good church. But it's obvious that although Jesus set up a church, I should say Church (both actually) there are a great many problems not only with members of churches but also with churches themselves.

The O.P. has nothing to prove - the proof is all around us if one wants to see it.

Jesus wants His followers to be more spiritual. He called the Pharisees hypocrites many times, Mathwew 23:13... The seven woes - and I think Jesus knew what He was talking about -- and this could also be applied to today.

Why is that not caring? Jesus told strangers not to do wrong. If you see someone going down the path to destruction, how is it not caring to attempt to convince them not to? Wouldn't it be not caring to let them go on their merry way and not say anything?

I agree with what you say.
Regarding Abraham, Moses and David though, I'm not sure I agree. Each one did what they had to do. Individually.

If you mean that through each one's efforts they together expanded the Kingdom, then okay. But it was an individual effort on each one's part.

I say this only because we are the Body of Christ. But if I help a neighbor in need, it's an individual act. Jesus also wants us to act individually - otherwise nothing would ever get done.

We are the hands and feet of God, so to speak.

Other than this, I agree with everything you've said.

Nope. I mean that each one of them as individuals had a strong relationship with God, putting him first, and as such they were able to cooperate with the Father to accomplish mighty things.
