Sacrilege
Is it possible to worship God without sacrifice?

   Sacrilege's normal definition is "the irreverent use of that which belongs to God."  Daniel gives us a detailed account of Belshazzar's sacrilege when he took the vessels from the temple and used them for his night of carousing and blasphemy.
   After the Israelites returned to the land, they questioned God. "In what way have we despised Your name?" God's response to Israel's belligerent question  was to broaden definition of sacrilege when He said, "By saying 'The table of the Lord is contemptible.' And when you offer the blind as a sacrifice, Is it not evil? And when you offer the lame and sick, Is it not evil? Offer it then to your governor! Would he be pleased with you? Would he accept you favorably?" [Malachi 1:7, 8 NKJV]  G. Campbell Morgan suggested that sacrilege in its worst form consists of taking something and giving it to God when it means absolutely nothing to you. 
   One member of our camp committee  in Alaska said "Tell the people we don't need any more junk for Jesus." His retort  was a response to the pile of broken, out of date equipment that just had been given to the camp.  When things were no longer good for personal use, people gave them to the camp.  As a result the camp grounds were slowing becoming a junk yard. "Junk for Jesus" is the highest possible form of sacrilege.  
  Sacrilege - The early church fathers defined sacrilege as the theft of sacred things, irreverent use of sacred things, the personal use of that which belongs to God [the tithe, first fruits], the giving of what belongs to the poor to those who are not poor, robbing the temple or giving something to God and taking it back.
   Charles Spurgeon added his thoughts on sacrilege to those of the church fathers.  In his messages, he made mention of many different forms of sacrilege - praying wrongly (praying "Our Father.." when you do not have a personal relationship God), living your life for self and selfish purposes, robbing God [Malachi 3:8], usurping divine authority and hypocrisy.
    What do we possess that belongs to God? Our body [1 Corinthians 6:19, 20], in fact, everything we have belongs to God. Are we guilty of sacrilege when we give God what's left of our time and money? Is it sacrilege when we participate in activities that destroy our bodies? Is it sacrilege when we give God less than our best?  
   Ultimately, sacrilege is saying to God, "me first and you can have what's left when I'm done with it."  To which God still responds,  "Offer it to your governor! Would he be pleased with you? Accept you favorably?" [1:7.8 NKJV]
