It seems to me you're putting the cart before the horse here E. As a Christian, I love my relationship with Christ and the life-affirming sense of joy and impact He gives me every day. Because I enjoy abundant life in Christ, it's no sweat to not do the things He says not to. Why? Because what I have is so much more. When you have relationship, in Christian terms outlined in the gospels, the responsibilities make sense. Blessings and all the best with your writing.
About Six-Word Questions
SMITH Magazine brings you an entirely new kind of six-word experience: Six-Word Questions. This is the place to pose a question to the SMITH community from, "What are your favorite Six-Word quotations" to challenging members to pen Six-Word Obituaries to the recently departed to Six-Word jokes and any other Six-Word question you can dream up. You can even request that the responses be in six words. Everyone has a question—what's yours?
