God is unchanging - the Great I Am - who calls us to wholehearted surrender, not a divided life that is half in and half out. He set us free through the sacrifice of His Son, not so we could return to sin, but to worship and serve Him in true freedom. To follow Him fully, we must confront and let go of the 'little gods' in our hearts - people, possessions, and plans - that compete for His rightful place. [Speaker: Barry]
