Bible Note: Dear Momma, Good comments! :-) I'm often irked at the frequent slogans we hear today telling people to "make Jesus Lord," or "make Jesus King of your life." As you point out, we have nothing to do with that. He is Lord, He is King, He is all these things in more. I have no power to make Him anything! I can only submit to the reality of what He already is! Thank you for your comments, ma'am. In Him, Doc |
