Will the Real Christians Stand Up                                                   Will the Real Christians Stand Up

              In Romans 12 verse 1, Paul is saying, I beseech you there-
         fore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your
         bodies  as  living  sacrifices,  holy  and  acceptable  unto  God,

         which is your reasonable service.
              “This means that  this is the  least that  we can do.  Jesus
         Christ literally gave his body as a living sacrifice. How much
         more should we offer our pure vessels unto God so that he

         can use us for his good pleasure? Webster defines sacrifice
         as some- thing offered to a god. The herders selected their
         best lamb as a sacrifice to receive blessings from their god.
         Jesus was that best lamb that was sacrificed for us unto God

         almighty, so that it would be possible for us to make a choice
         to be free from this world of sin. I think he deserves a round of
         applause.” Adriana said as she gave Jesus Christ praise along
         with the audience.

              “We too must be a living sacrifice unto God so that he
         can use us as he pleases. We must know that it’s more to it
         than just being involved in a sexual act, for there is a curse
         that comes when one makes a choice to disobey God. And

         to the young man that’s here today, I urge you to stop pres-
         suring your female peers to be involved in acts that will dis-
         please God. And to the young ladies, I encourage you to stop
         enticing the young men to be involved with acts that will also

         displease God. A lot of it has to do with how you carry your-
         self. Many of you already know that Israel and I are dating.
         Israel has never approached me in such a manner because I
         always carry myself as a young lady in Christ.”

              The youth applauded.
              “As young men and women, we have no business inter-
         acting with pornography. That’s a gateway for Satan to enter
         in and control your thoughts and actions. Once that happens,

         you will be plagued with an uncontrollable desire for sexual
                                           96
