What Are We to Do and Go on Doing?

In the sermon on the mount, Jesus asks his people what they want to do as a habit. He doesn't give an answer like in other sermons where he teaches how to pray and fast or give to the poor. Rather it's about living lives built aroundJesus' pattern and practices. Adele Calhoun says spiritual practices don't give us spiritual brownie points but help us work the system for a passing grade from God.
