I mean where is the line? How much should we be reading and praying 24 hrs a day?. Am I wrong, if so correct me please cause I do want to be right with God and know I have a lot of things to work on. Does anyone know what I am talking about. Has anyone heard of a message like this before?
If this is true then who is really saved???

A very common message (unfortunately) with lazy logic.
Usually this is employed when they want to rail on something they don't approve, unfortunately, the logic isn't exclusive to just what they don't approve, but all things less important than Jesus. It's a false argument and situation. Jesus comes first, he is our object of worship, no one and nothing else. That doesn't mean we aren't enjoying the life he's given us -- we are cautioned to not make those an end in themselves.
