QUOTES from this Episode:
“…sounds like what Christ is saying to many of us today. He is definitely saying that to me. He is saying, “my son, my daughter, my friend, I am either Lord of All or I am not Lord at all.” Christ is not Lord in our lives until He is Lord of ALL. …”)
“…By the time she finished reading the vows, the Groom’s smile had disappeared and there was noticeable unease in the congregation. In fact, the Groom seemed to have a tear in his eye. He was unsure about going forward. So…)
“…For what sin, what relationship, what pursuit, what glory, what gain, for what would you give away the life, life everlasting that is to be found in the relationship with Jesus…”
“…And, for us living in this age, this 21st century, is Christ not calling that we give to Him our phones, our social media accounts, our WhatsApp and other messaging apps? Is He not calling that we dedicate our ALL to Him?”
1 All to Jesus I surrender,
All to Him I freely give;
I will ever love and trust Him,
In His presence daily live.
Refrain:
I surrender all, I surrender all;
All to Thee, my blessed Savior,
I surrender all.
2 All to Jesus I surrender,
Make me, Savior, wholly Thine;
Let me feel Thy Holy Spirit,
Truly know that Thou art mine. [Refrain]
3 All to Jesus I surrender,
Lord, I give myself to Thee;
Fill me with Thy love and power,
Let Thy blessing fall on me. [Refrain]
