You can’t have a kingdom without a king. When they rejected the King, there’s no kingdom, and then He could say privately, personally, now: “Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden; I will rest you.” That’s still His invitation today. It is a message to be sent out to individuals to exercise their free will. And my friend, you’re making a decision, whether you know it or not, whether you believe it or not. You either make a decision for Him or reject Him. And somebody says, “You don’t get me on that. I will not make a decision. I will not accept Him, and I don’t reject Him.” You don’t? Listen to Him: “He that is not for Me, is against Me ….” There’s no such thing as neutral ground.

Allow grace to revolutionize your own life through these seven lessons from Dr. J. Vernon McGee.
