Saint Athanasius Lutheran Church

Most of the time, when we make a bad decision, we may regret the decision we made, but in the grand scheme of things, it doesn't matter all that much. But some bad choices have a more lasting effect. So what of the decisions we make concerning God? How would you categorize them? One of the responsibilities of fathers and mothers is to teach their children how to make good choices, good decisions. And Jesus is doing the same thing in the words of the Holy Gospel that we heard today. Count the cost, He says, of following Him.
