Grace cost Jesus His life...
BUT How folks are bothered when you talk about the cost of being a disciple! These seek entrance without true repentance.

Three Dollars Worth
I would like to buy three dollars worth of God, please.
I would like to buy just a little of the Lord.
Not enough to explode my soul and disturb my sleep.
Not enough to take control of my life.
I want just enough to equal a cup of warm milk.
Just enough to ease some of the pain from my guilt.
I would like to buy three dollars worth of God, please.
I would like to find a love that is pocket-sized.
Not enough to make me love someone different from me.
Not enough to change my heart.
I can only stand just enough to take to church when I have time.
Just enough to equal a snooze in the sunshine.
I want ecstasy, not transformation. I want the warmth of the womb, but not a new birth.
I would like to purchase a pound of the eternal in a paper sack.
If it doesn't work, I would like to get my money back.
I would like to buy three dollars worth of God, please.
I would like to hide some for a rainy day.
Not enough for people to see a change in me.
Not enough to impose any responsibility.
Just enough to make folks think I am ok.
Could I just get three dollars worth of God, please

like what you posted [thumbsup2]

I know we don't agree on every subject but you seem to understand there is no such thing as a Christian that is not also a disciple.....

the person who thinks he can halfheartedly take the salvation offered through the Blood of Yahshua has never heard the true gospel!

I'm not sure what that would be right off hand. Nothing comes to my memory that we have disagreed about...

All I know concerning the brethren is that Jesus Christ, The Son of The Living God is THE common denominator among His sheep and Has made His sheep one with God.

This is what I know [Smile]
