Billy Funk's song reminds us not off ourselves to God as living sacrifices. His words echo those of Paul is Romans 12:1-2, where we are shown what TRUE worship really is. Are we TRUE worshippers?

Billy Funk's worship song reminds us that God invites us to come to Him. He takes that first initiative, but then we have to respond and come to Him! After all it was James who wrote "come near to God, and He will come near to you".

Christians don't wait to gleefully see evil ones punished in eternity. They pray and work for even the most evil to come to faith in Christ. Consider how he has forgiven us… Now let us bring that good news to even "the vilest offender" that they may believe and find grace.

Words from the Psalms and from Paul remind us of the sobering truth that evil will ultimately be punished by God in eternity. If we believe in the Christian view of eternal life… than surely this is good enough.

Like Jesus, true Christians are to be committed to bringing justice to their communities. As John Wesley taught, our holiness comes from our works of piety, and our works of mercy. Be sure to do both, as you seek to be like Christ!

God weeps at the injustice in this evil world. Do we? If we are aiming for a heart like the heart of Jesus… we must.

Churches with no concern for justice are, according to Scripture, hated by God. Let us not lose our focus - for our mission is to be committed to justice as our God is.

Why do we praise God? To stroke his ego? No! For a much more profound reason, which CS Lewis reveals.

David's response to God's greatness was to give himself to God completely, with no reservations. What a lesson for us! Let's live with undivided hearts of commitment to Him.

David and Paul both held two great truths in balance: they knew that life after death was assured, but they knew that life on earth was precious and to be lived to the full. Let's follow their example.
