"Present your bodies as a living sacrifice -
Holy and acceptable to God - your spiritual worship." Romans 12:1
"and the truth is this: We all live surrendered to something or to someone."
Powerful isn't it? Because it is true. We don't like it necessarily - but we know that it is true. Think about the people in your life and ask yourself: "What are they surrendered to?
It's easy to see in some isn't it? Hard to hide being surrendered to a job, a lifestyle, a salary. Harder to see in other situations but still not too easy to hide.
But now ask that question about your life? What are you surrendered to? Don't know how to tell? Then let me give you three ways to check.
1. Look at your calendar - where do you spend your time?
2. Look at your checkbook register or your online bank account statement -
where do you spend your money?
3. Look at what you have in our life - what do you collect - things or friends?
These three things will help ou know - and if you still can't tell ask a friend - an honest friend. They will tell you. If we are a Christian we have each said we are surrending to Chirst. Ask: Is Jesus really in charge of our clandar or is it filled with what you want? Is Christ in charge of ur checkbook and finances or are you still holding the purse strings? Is your life filled with things you have collected or people you have loved and are loved by?
Surrender!
Your Pastor Dude!
