The Cost of Discipleship

It seems we have defined our faith by what we get out of it. Faith has become a promise of all you can get in this world with the afterlife tossed in as a bonus.

Someone almost lost his job for refusing to carry out an instruction which was against his faith - the verdict from other Christians? He should have used wisdom. Everyone seemed to forget that the decision is a choice of serving the unseen or the seen - fear of man or God.

Our faith is not a promise of all things in smooth tandem. It is a promise of refusing the world and all it promises. Little wonder, it is written "if we have hope only in this world, we are of men most to be pitied".

Who holds the key to our life's decision? I wonder if it's God

God, help me to stand for who I believe in - You
