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://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Thessalonians%205:23&version=NIV 2009-09-03T15:08:35-05:00 God is concerned with our whole spirit, soul and body. Paul writes that he wants us stay blameless for when Jesus comes back.
