You Can’t Do You and Serve the Most High
Chris Briggs delivers a direct call to commitment and repentance. His central message is that a person cannot live entirely on their own terms while also claiming to serve the Most High. At some point, a choice has to be made between obedience and self-directed living.
He challenges the idea that faith can simply be added onto an otherwise unchanged life. In his message, the Most High does not want a portion of a person’s life, occasional religious participation, or partial surrender. He wants complete commitment. Briggs contrasts this with what he describes as a religious mindset that says a person can continue doing whatever they want as long as they claim that the Most High “knows their heart.”
A major theme is the danger of trying to live on both sides. Briggs says a person cannot continually participate in willful sin while also expecting to maintain a genuine relationship with the Most High. He references the biblical image of being hot or cold rather than lukewarm, emphasizing that divided loyalty is not acceptable.
He also urges listeners to examine whether they truly have a relationship with the Most High or whether they merely have religious knowledge, habits, or identity. Simply knowing about Him is not the same as surrendering to Him.
Briggs connects personal choices with consequences as well. He argues that people sometimes question why their lives are producing certain results without recognizing that they may be reaping what they have been sowing through repeated disobedience and willful sin.
The message ultimately becomes a call to repentance: confess, forsake, turn away from wickedness, and stop trying to maintain one foot in obedience and one foot in the world. The Most High is patient and long-suffering, Briggs says, but that patience should not be mistaken for approval.
Core message: Serving the Most High requires surrender, not simply adding Him to a life that remains centered on personal desires. A genuine relationship with Him requires a deliberate choice to turn from willful sin and walk in obedience.
Key takeaway:
You cannot fully serve yourself and fully serve the Most High at the same time. Briggs’ challenge is to choose, repent, surrender completely, and allow your life—not merely your words—to demonstrate whom you serve.
