The Cost of Our Christianity!

One of our problems as Christians in America is that our -Christianity doesn't COST US anything.-Instead of believing and accepting what Christ said about how -we will suffer and be persecuted as His disciples and -followers in this evil world, instead of taking up our own -personal cross daily, and being intimately associated with -the sufferings of Christ in our lives, we bend over -backward in America to be accommodating to our family, -friends, and to the world.-This-. Because WE HAVE counted the cost of following -Christ, and the cost is more than we are willing to -pay, so, we capitulate and exchange our Christianity -for -a religion- that costs us nothing-. no suffering-shame for the gospel, no cross to bear, and no -persecution or dealing with those that hate us because -we love Christ- -Child of God, that's not Christianity-
