Are You a Living Sacrifice? 

Sacrifice is not a word we like to hear. It sounds costly, uncomfortable, and even painful. But for those of us who follow Christ, it is at the heart of what it means to live a surrendered life.Romans 12:1 tells us, “I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer yourContinueContinue reading “Are You a Living Sacrifice? “
