Sacrifice is a term past, not of today. Today, no one is expected to sacrifice anything. We are surrounded by game shows that give you riches if you answer a few questions on general knowledge or guess the right box is open. The unspoken spirit of the age is 'if something is difficult, do something else instead. If something is expensive, borrow it or borrow the money to buy it.

What place does 'sacrifice' have in this world?

The Bible says it is central - and that sacrifice is not only a vital key to the future, it is the essence of a Christian's life, today.

Helen Roseveare believes that God does have a right to demand our sacrifice - with all our heart, soul, maind and strength - and it is our privilege to respond to that demand.
