Passage:
Luke
14:28-30*
28. "Suppose one of you
wants to build a tower. Will he not first sit down and
estimate the cost to see if he has enough money to
complete it?
29. For if he lays the
foundation and is not able to finish it, everyone who
sees it will ridicule him,
30. saying, 'This fellow began
to build and was not able to finish.'
Question
1. What do you think it
costs to follow Jesus?
2. What do you think it costs
not to follow Jesus?
Practical
help
How many initially
meaningful projects have you undertaken and then
abandoned because you really didn't tackle them with a
do-or-die attitude?
Jesus wants you to look at your
life and everything that happens in it as the most
meaningful project you'll ever undertake. The big
difference is he's ready to give you assurance that
this is a project you will complete! Maybe not today
or tomorrow, but with him, you will.
What does this assurance of
completion cost you? Just the willingness to enter
into 'project life' with a do-or-die
attitude:
Do believe and
trust in Jesus and what he's done for you.

or
Die in your unbelief,
not being sure of anything except a life full of
abandoned efforts.
If your every attempt to conquer
a pornography habit ends up in the 'abandoned' column
with no hope for victory, then make your next attempt
with a do-or-die attitude.
