Why life is not measured by what you get – it’s about what you give.The difference between suffering and sacrifice.In The Lost Art of Sacrifice, you will learn The question is, how do we go about doing this? What does denying myself look like? How exactly must I carry my cross? That is the subject of my latest book - The essence of what it means to be a Christian. Yet these were the words of Christ to his disciples.
I’d rather walk around it, step over it, crawl under it or run from it – anything but embrace it. I don’t know about you, but if given the opportunity, my natural inclination is to avoid the cross like the plague. For what will it profit a man, if he gains the whole world and forfeits his life? (Matthew 16:24-26). For whoever would save his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. “If any man would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. We owe it to ourselves and to Him to consider His call as He made it, unblemished by the mores of the culture: It would seem that anyone who truly desires to follow Christ, should return to His words and find out what He actually said to His would-be followers. So what should we do? Perhaps we should take this time to return to our roots, examining what it means to be a Christian in the world today. As Christians, our allegiance is not to this world, but to God alone, through His Son, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Now is a perfect time to step back from material things and remember that there is something more for which we were made. But it’s very possible that Our Lord has allowed this opportunity in history as a reminder for us that this world is passing away. We begin each day wondering what happened to the world we once knew, and some are fearful of the future. The world seems to have lost its way, and many of us feel powerless to correct its course. Not a moment too soon, either, for we are living in trying times. My new book just came out!!! And it’s all about Sacrifice!!!
