Living sacrifice

Today, I stepped out again.

Since I accepted Christ, I have been through so many times of altar call.

Basically there are 3 types of altar call:

1) Call to accept Christ

2) Call to offer ourselves to God and do what He called us to do

3) Call to offer ourselves to God and become a pastor/full time in God's work

I think only for the 1st type of altar call I did not responded. I was not accepted Christ under such a situation.

For 2nd & 3rd type, I both responded. And today, pastor called for the 2nd type of altar call, and I stepped out again.

Stepping out, need brave. But if stepped out for too many times, I will ask myself, is there still a need to re-confirm the commitment to God again?

However, whenever pastor calls, I will surely respond. I just feel uneasy to sit down during an altar call.

Today, the pastor in my church make an altar call. I just know I must step out. I know the culture of my church. They just don't like to let other people knows about their commitment to God. Though many of the church members already offered themselves to God, and they are practicing that in their daily life, but they just don't like to show it out in such a way.

So, I stepped out again, as an encouragement to others.

Frankly, stepping out is not easy, but to be determined in pursuing is even a life long process.

What is God's purpose for you in your life?
