If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.
Luke 14:26
There are many ways to approach discipleship in Christ, but one thing is assured. Unless your obedience is carried to the extreme, it is not Biblical Christianity.
Discipleship begins at the cross. It begins at the laying down of everything of this life, and that of following the Master. From start to finish, it must be about absolute trusting and dependence upon the Shepherd for everything. Read more…

Who is blind but My servant, or so deaf as My messenger whom I send?
Who is so blind as he that is at peace with Me, Or so blind as the servant of the LORD?

Give yourself to the Master. Unreservedly. Whole-heartedly. He is a treasure worth buying. He is a pearl worth selling all for.
Absolute bondage to the Spirit is absolute freedom from sin. Self seeking, self promotion, and selfish ambition are slavery, and provide for nothing.
Until you are willing to die, you will never live. Until your life ends, you life, not Him. Unless you hate your life, you are NOT His disciple. Luke 14:26.
