What happens when a believer offers lips of praise to God seven days a week?
The believer who presents lips of praise to God seven days a week starts accomplishing things for God. It works hand in glove, almost automatically. That praise is the living sacrifice God seeks, the fruit of lips giving thanks, and it moves past the lips into other areas of life.
Les teaches that the sacrifice God is looking for first and foremost is not an animal sacrifice or our own blood, but the continual sacrifice of praise to God, the fruit of our lips. He asks what we do with our lips: we speak. God wants to hear our lips speak praise and thanksgiving to Him all day, every day. Les says this is the easiest way to fulfill Romans chapter 12. He guarantees that a believer offering lips of praise to God seven days a week will start accomplishing things for God; it works hand in glove, it is that automatic. Yet the living sacrifice should not stop with the lips of praise. Les explains it will always move on into other areas of your life. It is to be holy, which simply means set apart, as Temple vessels were declared holy. Les notes that being holy scares people because they do not want to be thought of as oddballs, but Christianity is never that.
