I fear that this is what is lacking in so many churches today. There is no "counting the cost." It's all health, wealth, and prosperity teaching. It's a false gospel. It ain't about what God can do for you to make your life easier! It's about picking up your cross and dying to yourself every day to bring HIM glory!<strong>Love</strong> the Tozer quote.
