The Living Sacrifice That Keeps Crawling Off - Traditional (Romans 12:1-2)

Someone once observed: "The problem with a living sacrifice is it keeps crawling off the altar." Dead sacrifices stay put; living ones squirm. Paul's image is provocative—offer your BODY as a LIVING sacrifice. Not just intentions or feelings but actual flesh-and-blood living. And yes, we keep crawling off. Every day requires re-presenting ourselves. Every morning, we climb back on the altar. The sacrifice isn't one-time decision but ongoing surrender. Have you crawled off lately? The altar is still there.
