Many Christians trust Jesus w/ their eternity but fail to surrender their everyday lives to Him as King. We want Him to keep us out of hell while we keep Him out of our relationships, $, sexuality, and work. Tozer once said, ‘If He is not Lord of all, He is not Lord at all.’”

@Delta you know I love you and am loyal to you but today you disappointed me.
