The essence of consecrated living is to be pleasing & acceptable to God. We consecrate ourselves to His will, seek His well done, and live as His servants. That is God's only pathway to finding, knowing, and doing His will.

THIS IS GOD’S CALL TO TOTAL COMMITMENT 
What is amazing is the extent of this call from God. It is not merely for pastors, elders, deacons, and missionaries. This call to consecration is addressed to anyone that has experienced the mercies of God.

God is speaking to everyone in Christ's Church, grade-schoolers, middle-schoolers, high-schoolers, college students, young adults, singles, young marrieds, un-marrieds, single parents, those at the start of their careers, at the height of their careers, and after their career. The call is the same for all: complete consecration.

The medieval distinction between clergy & laity is wrong. We are all called to complete consecration, the many, not the few. That is God’s plan for each of our chosen vocations. God calls for, expects, desires, and blesses consecration.

To offer 25% surrender is disobedient; to offer 50 or 75% is irrational once confronted with God’s mercies. 

That means God does not accept worship from 25% of your heart.

Even half-hearted or 50% worship is not accepted. 

God says the only worship He will take is what David describes as: “with my whole heart.” I want to love, worship, and serve You, Lord.

We are to give all we have to all we know about Christ. The more we know, the more we are to give. Now we get to the details, the instruction manual, and the fine print.
