            Matthew 6:24 doesn’t beat around the busy.  It reads, “No man can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will hold to the one and despise the other.”

            There are three steps to Christian conversion.  First you fill your mind with facts. Who Christ was, what He did, what He said, who He influenced yesterday, today and will tomorrow.

            Second, you learn some rules.  You pray some prayers, you love some enemies, you fertilize the soil of your soul.

            Third, you say and mean, “Lord, here am I.  Take me.  Take my heart for here I feel the strongest and give the most.  When I give You this, You have all of me.”

            John wrote in John 1:14  “And the word was made flesh, and dwelt among us (and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father) full of grace and truth.”

            So just remember, you were made in the image of God, even when you are acting ungodly. The Psalmist says you are made a little less than divine.  No instrument that you can make can match the instrument that you are.  (rewrite of a statement by Wallace Hamilton)  Sometimes you may wonder, is there a heavenly book where your name is listed and your address given beneath it.

            The great preacher, Harry Emerson Fosdick once said, “The man who spends a great deal of time trying to decide whether he wants to be married or a bachelor already has decided.”  Same thing with being a Christian.  If you spend a great deal of time trying to decide whether you really want to really be a Christian, you already have decided.

            How does that 139th Psalm read?

            “Whither shall I go from thy spirit? Or wither shall I flee from thy presence?  If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.  If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.”
