We're good at surrendering to God — it's the staying surrendered that undoes us. Paul asks for something no altar had ever received: a living sacrifice, one that's still breathing and can quietly climb right back down on a Tuesday morning when nobody's watching. This week we find that the altar has moved — it isn't a place you visit anymore, it's a posture you keep returning to — and the next level God has for you is waiting on the other side of the decision to stay.
