New Car Christianity?

Imagine that I gave you a new car. It’s a nice car, it runs well. You’d be excited wouldn’t you? A nice new car to drive around. But there are a few conditions.

1. You can only have the car one morning a week. The rest of the time it stays at my house and you can not use it.
2. Oh yeah- by the way, that one morning a week I will come to your house and pick you up. You can ride in the passenger seat. We will only go where I want to go, and after a few hours, I will drop you off again until the next week.

Yet this is what many of us do in our relationship with God. It's not a car we give to God, but our life. But we place conditions.

1. You can only have my life for a few hours on Sunday.
2. I'll keep control, You are just a passenger.. you cannot make decisions. I'll decide what church things I will attend and you can be there with me. Then after you have had your joy ride with me I'll take my life back and see you again next week.

Is this your life?
