While on vacation I read a fine CPH book entitled, "Reading Romans With Luther." The book features an interesting concept, picking on the themes upon which the apostle Paul writes, and including Martin Luther's thoughts on those themes.
One chapter focused on the trouble we have with letting the old man - that sinful nature inside of each of us that wants its own way - have full reign in our lives. The following quote from author and speaker, Louie Giglio, gave me lots of food for thought, as they say. Maybe it will do the same for you:
You simply follow the trail of your time, your affection, your energy, your money and your loyalty. At the end of that trail you'll find a throne; and whatever, or whoever, is on that throne is what is of highest value to you. On that throne is what you worship.
