Black and White
The Lamp of the Body.
Matthew 6:23-24: "But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light that is in you is darkness, how great is the darkness! "No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth."
It is pretty obvious. We cannot have both sides. We cannot decide to serve God in all areas, but then say, "Well God, you cannot have your way with what I tithe, or you cannot have your way with what I buy." It is either all or nothing. God wants all of us. He loves us so much that he does not want to share us. This reminds me of a song (only can think of a few of the lyrics): "He is jealous for you, loves like a hurricane, I am a tree, bending beneath the weight of his wind and mercy." God loves us so much that he wants us to passionately pursue all of him. Not part of him, but all of him.
It is black and white. God wants all.
