100% 4 God

After reading a comment made about trimming hair,
I began thinking over and over what was said.
The person stated the trimming the hair(females) was
ok.  Scripturally, woman cutting their hair is wrong.
What was being said here was, ok God, I am going to
live for you 90% but not 100%.  I am just going to cut "a little".

Kinda like the person who use to drink, they get an urge that won't
leave them alone so they take "a little" drink..you know, just to take
away the urge...or split ends.

Before I start meddling too much, let me get to my point...
When we give ourselves to God, we are not to hold back a
percentage for us.  We have to give God 100%.  I see many 70, 80,
and 90% people in the church today.  They have been there long 
enough, and have been led enough, to know better.  Yet they don't
want to give "all" to God.  Who are these 70-90% people?  Those
that hold on to just "a little" bit of worldliness.  They go to church
and
act like they are giving all, yet go home and sit down and use "a little"
bit of the world, they kept.  

Bro Libby preached at the Indiana family camp this year and made a
very good point.  Many times we go down to the altar with our
sacrifice to God and beat the sacrifice until it is unconscious and then
take it back home and revive it.  We don't actually "kill" the sacrifice,
just knock it out so to speak.  When are we going to go down
to the altar and actually leave all the sacrifice on the altar for God?

The reason some don't have revival in their own life while others
around them are, is that they have yet to get give God 100%.

We can't take just "a little" for ourselves.  We are either to be
100% for God or 0%...Hot or cold....on or off, no luke warmness.

Does the lady leave her hair alone or does she trim, "a little"?
Do we do away with the TV all together or do we bring it out
of the closet to watch it, "a little."
Do we go without makeup, or do we wear, "a little?"
Do we dress modest, or "a little" like the world?
Do we abstain from  drugs, alcohol, and pre-marital sex, or
do we have "a little?"
Do we live for God 100% or give the devil " a little"?

"A little bit" of the world, can give you "a whole lot" of eternity in
Hell...
