    The alternative to inexhaustible purpose is to stay in the RUT of the familiar and common-place...“The only difference between a rut and a grave is one of dimension.” (anon)

    Nice Church

    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,903 views

    There is more to the faith and to the work of the church than trying to raise a "nice" army. There are those things that are actually of greater importance.

    Ever have a bad day? That’s a bit of a rhetorical question actually. All of us have. One mother writes: It was one of the worst days of my life: The washing machine broke down, the telephone kept ringing, my head ached, and the mail carrier brought a bill I had no money to pay.

    Jesus wants us to know the truth about being one of His disciples. He wants all of us to count the cost, so in vs. 24 the Lord tells us three things we must do.

    Demands Of Discipleship

    Contributed by Robbie Parsons on Feb 17, 2008
    based on 5 ratings
     | 6,235 views

    Are we just followers, or true disciples, of Jesus? There is a difference! If we are a true disciple, then we have rewards in heaven. If we are just followers, we may not. Let us learn about the demands of discipleship.

    It is possible to be a follower of Jesus without being a disciple; to be a camp follower without being a soldier of the king; to be a hanger-on in some great work without pulling one’s weight. Someone was talking to a great scholar about a younger man. He said, “So and so tells me that he was ...read more
