Sacrifice is making something holy

In the ancient world, sacrifice wasn't giving something up. It was making something holy. - Dr. Dan Belnap

This can really change our perspective on sacrifice. Instead of asking ourselves a question like, "Am I going to sacrifice this time to go to the temple?" or "Am I going to sacrifice this money to pay tithing? we should ask ourselves "Do I want to make this time holy? Do I want to make this money holy?" Really it is just a shift in perspective.
