If you've ever seen someone on the side of the road in a Statue of Liberty costume to advertise for an organization, you may have noticed how committed they are to their jobs. They ought to make us question just how dedicated we are to God. Are we as unashamed to represent Christ as they are to represent the company they work for?

We ought to have more dedication to Christ than to anything in our lives because of what He has done for us. We should be down for whatever God may have for us. Pastor Justin Cox gives us three principles to apply to our lives to ensure that our dedication to Christ won't suck. This is a helpful and very practical message to believers.

It's been said that an apostate isn't someone who walks around spreading heresy but someone who gets all the way to the point of having a true, vibrant walk with God and backs off from it. Often times God is trying to get ahold of our hearts and as much as we say we want Him to be our everything there are still certain things that we are holding back from Him. In the story of the rich young ruler Jesus is confronted with a person who self righteously believes he is good enough to get into heaven. But when he was confronted with the truth, that he was placing his wealth before God, he went away sad. Many of us may sing in church, tithe, and do a lot of good things whereby we think ourselves right with God, but God knows what really owns our hearts. Unfortunately many of us may be holding something back and we're almost saved but we're not willing to give ourselves completely to God. In this sermon Pastor Cox encourages any in this state, not to just quit like the young man in the story but to seek God for a new heart. Fight until He has your will.

Jesus spoke with so much wisdom and authority. He raised the standard for the Laws of God to a level never before seen, especially lust. Listen as Pastor Cox peers into the historical roots of the words of Christ and exposes the REAL definition of lust. Christ ask us if our we are willing to pluck out our right eye if it would get in the way of being sold out to him.  Would you?

David is certainly an important man in the Bible.  "A man after God's own heart."  So, why did David fall into such a shocking sin against another man, that man's wife and God Himself?  After all this is the man who stood for the Lord against Goliath.  It wasn't clearly evident how or exactly when, but at some point, David's heart drifted away from the Lord.  Even though David was winning military campaigns and prospering as God's anointed, the wheels of his heart were in motion to sin against God.

Has your heart drifted away from God?  Maybe nobody else can notice, but you know and God knows that you are not living your life on fire for Him.  You may need a revival in your life.  Listen as Pastor Cox speaks boldly and encouragingly on this issue.
