Wouldn't Yon
IMVWWW 'VWNW’
By Wes Lancaster
Suppose someone decided he
would let breathing be a part of
his life only at certain times ini
the week. It is just as ridicu
lous and unsatisfactory to try to
have Christ in our life but only
in His “department.” There is no
such thing as departmentalizing;
the Lord in our life! If He is not
obeyed in every area He is not
Lord at all!
Many oeople find “religion’*
unsatisfying because they have
just “taken up” church going or
tried to reform without commut
ing their whole self to Christ as
Savior and Lord. Many want to
USE God as a sort of cosmic
bell-hop to help them when they
i get in trouble. Or they try to>.
maneuver God in their ‘“pray
ing” instead of submitting to God
We get this affair all reversed;
God is God! As soon as we give
ourselves over to God we are go
i ing to have a showdown with sin
in our life. But we can be re
! ligious all our life and go right
on in sin.
A lot of religious people gcr
right on with their shady busi
ness deals, their violating of the
law, their stealing, coveting, im
morality and selfish ambition.
But no one who is genuinely liv
ing for Christ is doing these
things!
WOULDN’T YOU like to dis
cover the glories of peace of mind
and victorious living in Christ?
WOULDNT YOU trade religion
for real salvation? f
