If you would have asked for my definition of Piety, I probably have said something
like someone walking around with their hands folded in front of them in a chapel or the equivalent. I know of a young man who has been "called" into the ministry, and
I see him in church looking somewhat this way. Now this may be perfectly right
and OK, but my perception is somewhat different, which could be bad!
 
My definition says for piety-  love of GOD as a Father, and obey Him because we
love Him, (not much different from above.)
I believe after we become a believer, we do love God, even though it is
a different type of love than we are used to. I think it is a deep feeling inside
us we cannot fully explain. But from this "feeling", we want to do what He says.
 
Thank you God, our faith is something scientists cannot explain, and we do
not have to be concerned about their relentless search trying to explain, or disclaim the existence of our GOD.
 
People: please search for God in your life. Submit your will to His will, and
receive His "faith" in your heart. Fellowship with Him through the Holy Spirit,
and don't be concerned about somebody trying to define God's presence in your
life.
