Losing My Religion

(click above for video link)

What does God want the most?

Romans12 answers what it means to be a Christ follower.

Matthew13:44-46
Total commitment is the channel through which God’s best and biggest blessings flow.

People that have made the to accept Christ, saved, but live no differently than nonChristians – Christian atheist. We live as if He doesn’t exist.

1 of 10 are actually an authentic Christian life.

We have bought into religion, we think God wants religion. Religion is manmade rules to connect with God. Religion = rules. Mans attempt to know God.

Adherring to list of rules can make think you are better than those that don’t. Other people have list that you can’t live up to, no feeling of fullfillment in Him. A facade that is empty.

He just wants you, no list. Just life, love and relationship. He wants all of you. Losing the religion will give an intimate relationship with God. Total commitment – life, marriage, finances, job, all that you are.

Negative List:
Sacrifice
Self- denial
Noble
More spritual
Martyr
Better than

Positive list:
Joy
Wise
Peace
Contentment

The problem = lack of commitment.
The answer = Romans12:1 ‘…offer your body as a living sacrifice…’
The command= offer your body
Surrender = Lordship
Motivation = mercy of God
The reason = act of worship
What does God the most? ME, Psalm84:11, Lord whatever you want to do
The surrender question: Are you all in?

God wants you as a signed and dated blank check! He fills it and you go on a journey together.

When you go all in, the game is on.

They believe God exist but live as if he doesn’t really exist.

I surrender all…
