Radical Focus James 1:21-27 “The gospel reveals eternal realities about God that we would sometimes rather not face. We prefer to sit back, enjoy our cliches, and picture God as a Father who might help us, all the while ignoring God as a Judge who might damn us. Maybe this is why we fill our lives with the constant drivel of entertainment in our culture – and in the church. We are afraid that if we stop and really look at God in His Word, we might discover that he evokes greater awe and demands deeper worship than we are ready to give him.”

The cost of non-discipleship (Luke 14:28-33) “"To depart from righteousness is to choose a life of crushing burdens, failures and disappointments, a life caught in the toils of endless problems that are never resolved. Here is the source of that unending soap opera, that sometimes horror show known as normal human life. The cost of discipleship, though it may take all we have, is small when compared to the lot of those who don’t accept Christ’s invitation to be a part of his company in the way of life." (The Spirit of the Disciplines)
3. Growing towards maturity (Galatians 5:16-18)
   • What is Jesus asking you to lay down today? What are you planning to put off, ‘maybe tomorrow’?
