The Apostle Paul encourages us to present ourselves as a living sacrifice. On this Feast of Weeks in ancient days, animal sacrifices were very much a part of the Holy Day, specifically the burnt sacrifice. But Paul's words can become disconnected to us in our non-animal sacrifice life today. What is Paul encouraging us to do? What does it mean to be a living sacrifice and how does it connect with God's spirit living in us?
