Sounds good until you think about it. I do not think they get what you are saying above. God deserves to be far more than an "interruption." How about until everything you own, are, and ever will be is placed back in the hands of the Creator, Sustainer, and Finisher? peace Just today a friend (and my boss at IWU) posted how they heard a great sermon on how you haven’t given enough to God until it interrupts your lifestyle.

Isn't it ironic how many evangelistic messages are actually appeals to man's desire to save his life (forever)? Once I was discussing the loss of a very dear ministry with a friend at church and told him that when my anger overflowed thinking of how "my rights" had been violated, I could almost hear Jesus remind me that "You are supposed to be dead, what rights?" I mean if we really believe this then the us before Christ is gone (along with its claims of rights and privileges), and anything done to us -- pro or con -- is unto Christ not us. But, you should have seen the reaction. I might as well have claimed the mother ship was coming soon to get me! peace Excellent thoughts.
