See, in your case, you've got to wake up and think Jesus first thing. Whichever is your down end of the day, be sure that Christ's lordship reaches from your first waking moments to your last conscious moments. You can really hurt those you love the most at your harsh end of the day. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/spare-parts-5864 2009-09-10T15:08:11-05:00 It's very clear that God isn't impressed with sacrifices that cost us nothing with the spare parts of our life that don't matter that much to us anyway. But far too many of us try to get by with what I call selective Lordship. We may sing, "I surrender all," but we live, "I surrender some." And while the Christians around us may be impressed with our spirituality, God says, "You're giving me your spare parts and you're holding on to the important things for yourself." http://youth-ministry.info/articles.php5?type=1&cat=30&art_id=23 2007-11-17T08:52:17-05:00 Lordship brings both costs and benefits. Dr. Barry St. Clair counts the cost of submitting to Jesus. http://youth-ministry.info/articles.php5?type=1&cat=30&art_id=22 2007-11-17T08:45:13-05:00 It's easy to lose perspective in youth ministry and begin to serve youth first, other's expectations first or our egos first. But a ministry that matters must be built on Jesus first. Dr. Barry St. Clair tells how to make it happen.
