keeping my hedge strong

We view the spirit with spiritual eyes and see the works with our physical in time corruptible, even deceivingly unreliable eyes. Christians who know they cannot get into heaven by their own works, by their actions emphasize their works more than their beliefs just by spending more time talking about them. Their hearts are where their treasure is and their treasure and their time is spent in works, where there is much opportunity for socializing. If a disagreement or a misunderstanding arises while socializing they will forget the spirit of the affair and translate that spirit into works, too often walking out of the church. Everyone in a church should have the permission, the mandate, the desire of the Holy Spirit for being there. It would seem therefore, walking out of a church without the permission of the Holy Spirit for me would be a great mistake. I would be concerned the strength in the hedge around me would be gone.
