Jesus has not given us options to consider. He has given us commands to obey.

As long as you and I understand salvation as checking off a box to get to God, we will find ourselves in the meaningless sea of world religions that actually condemn the human race by exalting our supposed ability to get to God. On the other hand, when you and I realize that we are morally evil, dead in sin and deserving of God's wrath with no way out on our own, we begin to discover our desperation for Christ.

The price of our non-discipleshi p is high for those without Christ.

A materialistic world will not be won to Christ by a materialistic church.

Do you realize the weight of the one who has invited us to follow him? He is worthy of more than church attendance and casual association; he is worthy of total abandonment and supreme adoration.

Do we believe the reward found in Jesus is worth the risk of following Him?

Let me introduce you to Jesus.
