It's Time to Die Today
It's Time to Die Today
“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.”
Romans 12:1
Today is the Lord’s Day...did you get that? It is HIS Day. Not mine, not yours, not your friends, your family, or your boss’...it is God’s Day. Now, if you are a child of God then technically everyday is His day, or at least it ought to be. Look, I get it. I too struggle to give Him all of who I am every single day. We want to live life on our terms. We think we know best. We have convinced ourselves that we can go it on our own through most of life’s situations. I love Paul’s heart here. “I AM BEGGING YOU!!!”, he says to the church at Rome and the one on the corner of State Road 9 and E. 600 North, “because God is SO merciful, it is time to die today. Die to who you are as you sacrifice it all to Who God is. It is the very least that you can do.” I hear him and I choose to get on that altar today and give my life to Christ. Won’t you join me? Imagine if we all came to God’s House as His Living Sacrifices today? Man, that would be a great Lord’s Day!
