Owner or Manager?

In 2000 the rock group Bon Jovi had a hit with the song, "It's My Life". The chorus goes:

It's my life
It's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just want to live while I'm alive
It's my life

You may have seen how Jon Bon Jovi referenced a well-know song declaring a similar theme: Frank Sinatra's signature balad "My Way". But it's not just a common theme of pop songs. The sentiment is nothing new. In fact, I think it's as old as humanity. When Adam and Eve first chose to ignore God's one and only restriction in the garden, they were singing this same tune.

Even those of us who are actively trying to follow Jesus can find ourselves trying to take the lead. This Sunday, March 11th, we'll be wrapping up our series "Extreme Makeover: Heart Edition" with the foundational issue: who's life is it, after all? I hope you'll be able to join us.
