Sinopse

Deuteronomy 30:15-20; Luke 14:25-33:  Jesus' dire warnings about the cost of discipleship reflect the cost of any and every choice we make in life that involves commitment.  Given that this is the same Jesus who said, "I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly” (John !0:10), the emphasis of our faith should not be sacrifice and suffering but the joy of life lived as though God is the ruler of our hearts and minds here and now. Author Barbara  Ehrenreich was asked what she would give up to live in a more human world.  She answered, “I think we shouldn’t think of what we would give up to have a more human world; we should think of what we would gain.”
