The sun gives forth
light; it cannot help doing so.  Animals breathe in and out; they cannot
help doing so.  Fish swim in rivers and the seas; they cannot help doing
so.  What, then, are the things which a Christian cannot help doing? 
First of all, a
Christian cannot help praying.  To be a Christian is to regard God as a
loving Father; and it is natural to talk and listen to one's
parents.  
Second, a Christian
cannot help praising God and giving praise to Him.  To be a Christian is
to affirm God as Creator of the universe; and when a Christian looks at the
beauty and glory of what God has made, praise and thanksgiving pour from the
lips.   
Third, a Christian
cannot help being generous.  To be a Christian is to acknowledge that
everything belongs to God and the human beings are merely stewards of what they
possess; so they naturally want to share their possessions with those in
need.   
Fourth, a Christian
cannot help reading the Scripture and also studying the insights of other
Christians.  To be  a Christian is to rejoice in the power of the
Holy Spirit; and the Sprit speaks to us through the Scriptures and through the
insights of our spiritual brothers and sisters.
