Oswald Chambers offers this perspective, "Jesus never pleaded, He never entrapped; He made discipleship intensely narrow, and pointed out certain things which could never be in those who followed Him." Chambers also said, "The words of the Lord hurt and offend until there is nothing left to hurt and offend. Jesus Christ has no tenderness whatever toward anything that is ultimately going to ruin a man in the service of God."
Do what you know you need to do to walk with Him. this struck me as it jostled the memory of a day at work. my cube mate was a JW pastor and was on a personal call to one of his parishioners and were discussing the tag team plan of “securing this guy” into their church.
do you realize how many unsuspecting people, including or especially children, are groomed like this?
Jesus don’t play that way. “And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.” Matthew 10:14
