Radio evangelical preachers

Just a thought here...

We are used to hearing a man appeal to people to "invite" Jesus into their hearts. But is that an accurate depiction of both God and us?

We don't "invite" the Judge of the Universe into our hearts. We rather plead, beg, and cry for the living God to receive us, for Him to be our Savior.

We don't let Him be Lord of our lives, He already is, over every living and non-living thing in the universe. We just have to come to the point where we will throw away our "sovereignty," bow the neck and plead for forgiveness.

But that message is not as palatable for our self-inflated egos.

In addition to that, admitting that one has no "choice" as to whether or not Christ will rule over oneself is humbling as well...
