Romans 6 That means you must not give sin a vote in the way you conduct your lives. Don't give it the time of day. Don't even run little errands that are connected with that old way of life. Throw yourselves wholeheartedly and full-time--remember, you've been raised from the dead!--into God's way of doing things. Sin can't tell you how to live. After all, you're not living under that old tyranny any longer. You're living in the freedom of God.
I met many people who come to church who say they are Christians, but they are still slaves to the old life of sin. They have said a little prayer after me, but nothing has changed.
The truth is being a part-time Christian doesn't work. If you're gonna do this Christian thing, why not throw yourself into it full-time.
When you give yourself totally to Jesus you'll find that it works and you walk in freedom. You threw yourself wholeheartedly into drugs, clubbing, drink, etc., why not throw yourself into Jesus with the same abandonment?
You can't serve two masters, choose this day who you will serve and be full-time and see God become Radical in your life.
Jesus was and is fulltime for you; so be full-time for Him. Full-time Christian needed.
Prayer:
Father forgive me for not being real. Forgive me for treating You like a hobby or interest. Forgive me for not giving You my all. Lord I don't want to be part-time anymore but full-time. Take over every part of me so I will live in freedom. In Jesus Name Amen.
