What do you think about my thoughts?

These are some thoughts that enter my head from time to time. They usually don't stay there for long so I thought I would post them and see what people might have to say about them. Know that I'm doing this at work while I'm on my iPhone so expect plenty of typos. (I find it funny how it automatically capitalize the "P" in iPhone for you). Anyway, I got to thinking about how our society in general thinks about God. Most in our society would have no problem with the concept of a higher being; in fact, many people would say that they believe in a god. The problem is what to do with this belief in God. While society has no problem with the belief in God, it expects that belief is kept to one part of our life and not spread to any other parts. Compartmentalization is an important thing to our society. Christianity, which is easily the largest religion in this country, has largely adopted this idea.
So what does this really mean for Christians? Is the idea that a relationship with God be kept to Sunday mornings and perhaps a daily devotional really what He would expect from us? If we are to believe in God and claim to have a relationship with through His Son, should not this permeate every aspect of our lives, even that which seems to be insignificant? What does the Bible have to say about this? If there is an intelligent creator to this universe, then is not this Creator bigger and more important than the universe itself? I would say that God is not meant to be limited to certain section of our lives, but He wants us to make our relationship with Him to be what our lives are all about. So why do Christians today want to try to keep God compartmentalized? I suppose it's easier and requires less effort and risk for Christians. Perhaps, this is what reduces Christianity to a religion that we practice on occasion instead of what God truly meant for us.
If what I've said is true, what are the implications of it? Tell me what you guys think. Am I making sense, or am I off base? Is there anything you would like to add? Is there anything here you might not be true? These are just some thoughts that came to me this morning and I wanted to write them down somewhere. I'm curious to see what others think so go ahead and comment, criticize, or just make fun of my grammar if you want.
