Re: Following Jesus - sayings and aphorisms by Kierkegaard

Genuine faith is never satisfied with the religious way of doing things – 
Sabbath worship or an hour or a half-hour of each day. Christianity is 
nothing else but faith right in the middle of actual life and weekdays.
But 
we have reduced it to quiet hours, thereby indirectly admitting that we
are 
not really being Christians. That we should have quiet times to think
about 
God – this seems so elevated and beautiful, so solemn. It is so 
hypocritical, because in this way we exempt daily life from the authentic 
worship of God.
