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. (Click here if you don't know.)

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.
