"I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. (Romans 12:1 King James Version)
Our church is meeting in a hotel every Sunday. The convenience of the environment all seasons, all year long. In giving- our church members can give cash, checks, money order, ATM or Visa card. The offering, the service and worship to God almost cost us nothing. The way we please and honor God sometimes does not even hurt us. Unfortunately, just like other Christian churches from the other side of my world; God is treated like a pain reliever.
Someone somewhere may have to walked miles just to get to the church for worship. Many people may wanted to offer something to God but their difficulties and economic situation prevented them; so their living sacrifice is all they have for which I believe is the best for God. What happened to Christianity? You have the answer- ask God to start it from your heart by giving your life and your heart to Him.
"And the king said unto Araunah, Nay; but I will surely buy it of thee at a price: neither will I offer burnt offerings unto the LORD my God of that which doth cost me nothing. So David bought the threshingfloor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver." (2 Samuel 24:24)
"And king David said to Ornan, Nay; but I will verily buy it for the full price: for I will not take that which is thine for the LORD, nor offer burnt offerings without cost."- (1 Chronicles 21:24)- By Ely Roque Sagansay
