Unhook The Chain
January 13, 2012

Jesus made it clear to His disciples that He is “the way, the truth, and the life” (John 14:6). He is the only way to the Father, and our belief and commitment to Him results in love and obedience—and leads to an eternal home in heaven.

Christina, a Bible student in Minsk, Belarus, wrote this testimony: “Jesus died for everyone, even the most desperate sinner. The worst criminal who comes to Him in faith, the Lord will accept.

“For a very long time, Jesus had been knocking at my door. Figuratively speaking, the door to my heart was open. I was a believer. But I kept the safety chain in place. I would not turn my life over to Him.”

Christina knew this was not right, and she felt that God was compelling her to make a change. “I knelt before Him and opened the door as wide as I could.” She took off the chain.

Committed followers of Jesus will do what He commands—without safety chains or back doors. No reserving little corners of our lives all for ourselves. No secret sins.

If, like Christina, you’ve been holding back from surrendering to God, it’s time to unhook that safety chain. Let go of those reservations. Throw open the doors of your life, and experience the joy of obedient discipleship.

Less of self and more of Jesus,
More and more each day like Thee;
Just to live in full surrender
For my Lord who ransomed me. —Wonder

No life is more secure than a life surrendered to God.

Read: John 14:15-24

If you love Me, keep My commandments. —John 14:15

Bible in a year:
Genesis 40-42

What a shocking and unexpected loss.
I was privileged to have known him.

He will be missed.

I called him earlier this year, on a whim. I don’t even remember what all we blabbered about.

[Colonel_Flagg]

What a shock. Prayers and condolences to the family and friends of a fine American.

For those who do not know LDO is a Limited Duty Officer.

This means that Chris was an enlisted man who worked his way up to LCDR. A “Mustang”.
