"The life of discipleship can only be maintained so long as nothing is allowed to come between Christ and ourselves, neither the law, nor personal piety, nor even the world. The disciple looks always only to his master, never to Christ AND the law, Christ AND religion, Christ AND the world. Only by following Christ alone can he preserve a single eye."
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
A challenge to 'easy' Christianity - be it armchair or pew variety! To BE a Christian means we are called to walk the talk - to pick up our cross and follow (i.e. be disciples of) Christ daily - but to pick up the cross, we must approach it empty-handed.
Love so amazing, so divine, demands my soul, my life, my all.
