Leftovers anyone???

Ch. 5 Serving Leftovers to a Holy GOD
Was this a hard chapter for you to read? It was for us who are in the Bible study on Wednesdays! So many times we give God what we have left of ourselves instead of giving Him what is rightfully His! We often give God what we think He can take care of and cling tightly to the things we want to control. That is not how Jesus did it though! In Matthew 16:24-25, Jesus says, "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will find it." Luke 14:33 says "Any of you who does not give up everything he has cannot be my disciple." DANG! Jesus says give up EVERYTHING! Not a little bit, not most of it...EVERYTHING! Being a lukewarm Christian is not an option! Either you live for Jesus or you dont. Thats all there is. Who are you living for; yourself or Jesus?
Here is what we talked about on Wednesday.
"Can I go to heaven without truly and faithfully loving Jesus? I dont see anywhere in Sscripture how the answer to that question could be yes. Do we die to ourselves daily? God doesn't just want us to have good theology; He wans us to know and love Him. God's grace is true and real. What does all or nothing look like in America? What would we look like if we gave it all to Jesus, today? Are we challenging our growth? "Physically sickness we usually defy. Soul sickness we often resign ourselves to." "Our greatest fear as individuals and as a church should not be of failure but succeeding at things in life that dont really matter."
