Your reasonable service
"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 KJV). The hour is too late for us, the church, to continue to play with the surface issues. We must turn from selfish playthings and cease our man-centered attempts to make religion serve us. We have a choice every day when we arise from a night of sleep to do what is right or wrong. It isn't until we understand Jesus Christ comes first that we will make honest and good choices. God must become our center and our desire. God's desires must be our desires and God's will our will. Gods' wants must be our wants. Man has to get away from his self-centeredness, being the center of everything. Self-centeredness only brings falseness, and Truth cannot be established upon one who is self-centered. What is God after? He is after us, and until we recognize what He is after we will never get there. It is the hour to become that living sacrifice for the Kingdom of God. God must be center of all, and we must pray that God's kingdom come and God's will be done. There is hope in Jesus Christ. God bless you. Amen
