Ep. 176: Continual Dedication to the Lord

SHOW NOTES:

In Podcast Episode 176, “Continual Dedication to the Lord,” Kim discusses the importance of continual dedication of all to the Lord and His service. The moment we hold back anything or anyone from complete dedication to the Lord is the moment we fall into idolatry.

The primary scripture text for this episode is 2 Samuel 8:7-12 with 11 as the focal verse.

“King David dedicated all these gifts to the Lord, as he did with the silver and gold from the other nations he had defeated—”

When a man asked George Mueller the secret of his service, Mueller responded: “There was a day when I died, utterly died; died to George Mueller, his opinions, preferences, tastes, and will; died to the world, its approval or censure; died to the approval or blame even of my brethren and friends; and since then I have studied to show myself approved only to God.” (From The London Quarterly Review, Volume 92 obtained online at https://ministry127.com/resources/illustration/death-to-self)

Robber of the Cruel Streets: The Story of George Muller (2006)

1 And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him. 2 Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect. (Romans 12:1-2)

WEEKLY ASSIGNMENT FEATURE:
