“What does it cost you to follow Christ? Everything. Steve Lawson preaches on Luke 14 on the Cost of Discipleship. The sad reality is that many people are just part of a crowd, many are in the crowd of those who listen to Piper, Washer, Conway, MacArthur, yet they themselves have not truly submitted to the Lordship of Christ. Search yourself out this very day… have you come to saving faith? Or do you just wish you had the reality of Christ that you see others have? Don’t be part of the wrong crowd.”

Sadly, this is true. Many want to be part of excitement and activity. Enter suffering and they’re gone. Refer back to the rich, young ruler… He wanted to be cool with the current trend. He found out Jesus was actually serious and be jetted. Same thing happens today. This is why the “come as you are, leave exactly as you were” movements are showing so much activity (Warren, Osteen, Hinn, Bell, McLaren, Jones et. al.)
Activity does not equal committment. The workers at McDonalds are active but only the hamburgers are committed!
As usual, thanks for posting this.
ECers, listen up! This guy is talking to you as well!
