That's hard to answer. On one hand, you might say a small percent like
maybe 10 or soemthingl ike that. But, since it is not ours to judge, then
who can say? I know that in a lot of big churches, (let's say 1000 members
or attendees as you put it), there might be 100 that are completely sold out
to God. How many of us on the E-church list are completely sold out to God?
And then, what would you call being sold out to God? I say being sold out
to God means that we focus our daily lives on Him, and everything that we do
during a course of a day is surrounded by what pleases Him, or what makes
Him be glorified. It might mean that we change our attitudes. It might
mean tht we change our way of living. It might mean that the music we used
to listen to, or the friends we used to hang out with, or the things we used
to say, or even as faras the kinds of books we used to read might change.
No one knows but the Father whose heart is truly completely and solely in
Him, but we hope and pray that our fellow christian "brothers and sisters"
are sold out to Him.
