TAKE WITH YOU WORDS.
We're to take the calves of our lips; the sacrifices of our lips, which are better that the bulls offered as sacrifice. Remember, the blood of bulls and goats couldn't take away sin (Hebrews 9:13-14).

Hebrews 13:15 says, "By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name"; then he explains what the fruit of oil lops are: words! We're to give thanks to His Name, rendering words. The expression " giving thanks" in the Greek is 'homologeo.' It means to make confessions; to say what God has said in harmony with Him.

When you declare that Jesus Christ is Lord of all, as Peter did in Acts 10:36, you're making confession to His Name. When say, "Lord you're holy and righteous; all things belong to you; thou art exalted above all; your hands have made all things"; that's making confessions to His Name. Remember, what's required is that you offer sacrifice of praise, giving thanks to His Name.

For example, you say: " Thank you for what you did for me; you've really giveb e the advantage; you've blessed me in all things"; you're according Him credit for what He's done for you; you're thanki g Him, and making confessions to His Name in a way that praises Him. Even now, render to the Lord the calves of your lips! Make confession to His Name.
