Religion is often viewed as something that is done when it is convenient. This attitude was expressed by Felix when he said, “when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee.” (Acts 24:25) This view of religion is not what was expressed by Jesus. Jesus said, “If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.” (Matthew 16:24) In fact, Paul expressed it this way, “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) The next time the world starts to creep into your life, will you choose to sacrifice for the Lord?
