Life Balance

It would be easy to see the concept of a ‘living sacrifice’ as an oxymoron. However, the imagery of a living sacrifice can become a revolutionary metaphor for a life of service. To experience the abundant life that Jesus offered by becoming a ‘living sacrifice’ (Rom 12:1) one must follow His example and pursue a counter-cultural lifestyle in at least three ways: orienting our lives around what is important, learning to choose the best over the good, and incorporating rhythms of personal renewal.
