I just thought I would say "Hi" and challenge you guys...hahahha.
What does it mean to be "souled out"?
This past Sunday really reminded me of a Bible story that is one of my favorites. It's of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. Why don't you guys read it for yourself.

To me, this is just one way of being souled out.
There are three things that are important in this story:
1. They were firm in their beliefs. Not to bring them glory, but to give God glory.
2. They were protected by God and nothing hurt them.
3. Because of what happened, God's power was shown, the King became a believer, and the three men, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, were blessed.
Imagine actually being in that time seeing the three of them standing there.
What would you guys do in that situation?
It's so tough to decide because your life is on the line. I know I would have a difficult time deciding. If you guys read verses 16-18, you see that Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego didn't really care for their lives, they just wanted to show that their God is the one true God. That's amazing and it definitely takes a lot of guts.
Think about this...what are the daily decisions you guys have to make to be souled out? It definitely isn't a life or death situation like the story in Daniel, but we make decisions about our faith everyday. Think about that.
Anybody have anything else to add?? Or any comments or questions??
Luke 9:23-26 (New International Version)
23Then he said to them all: "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself
and take up his cross daily and follow me. 24For whoever wants to save his life
will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will save it. 25What good is it
for a man to gain the whole world, and yet lose or forfeit his very self? 26If
anyone is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.
