"There came a man who was sent from God: his name was john. He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so thaty through him all men might believe. He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light." --John 1:6-8

I like your layout, the text is easy to read, and you have some excellent content.
I was pretty shocked myself.
Have a great day!
Life is full of many pressure from temptation, friends, work and sometime family members. In the end its hard to be like Christ and follow him like a disciple... so how can we as Christians have 100% total commitment for Jesus? How can we continue to grow towards Jesus? Today we need to make some changes and make some sacrifces by taking one for the team!
Romans 12:1-8 Living Sacrifices
First we need to remember that the world is a temporay home for us... heavn is our real home! Paul tells us not to be comformed by the world (v.2) but be comformed by God's will. this means we need to give our whole body and mind to God, leting the dark sin areas be comformed by God into light. Yes we need to pray before God and tell him of the hidden secrets we may have that we haven't let go. Turning to God mind and body isn't easy but it starts with admitting how much commited we realy are!
We are ALL part of God's plan of discipleship and we need to have total commitment in order to work as one body. Come to God and seek the gifts that He has given you through prayer. Maybe there is anea where you are active in your church... God is showing you a messege!! its time to have a reality check and see how much commitment we realy have! Are you taking the mission God has given you? Are you comformed by God or by the world? Are you ready to give yor ALL, even the dark hidden secrects? Are you ready to turn to God? God already made that extreme sacrifice on the cross... will you do the same?
Application through Prayer:
Father let us know your plans, that through you we may have total commitment in our life 24/7 becoming more like you. Give us the strenght, encourage as we face many challenges each day on earth. We konw this is only for a short time, but let us be comformed by YOU and not by the world! Thank you for making that extreme sacrifice on the cross... in Jesus name AMEN!
I really enjoyed reading this. I have committed my life to Jesus, and yes it is hard when you are around others who do not bekieve the way you do. Thank you for being an encouragment. God bless you,
