Following Jesus

This article at Relevant Magazine hit me right between the eyes yesterday. Entitled "Nobody Follows Jesus (so why should you?)", it talks about the TRUE cost of following Him. It's pretty scary stuff to us complacent types, calling for a radical rethink of the practicalities of following Jesus.

I'm going to be sharing it with the staff here when I'm on worship duty on Friday (we usually share a 5-minute devotion or reading, then have a prayer before we start our working day). I hope at least a little sinks in, both to their minds and mine. Putting it into practice could mean HUGE changes around here - but I suspect we're all in a pretty comfy rut and it would take a lot to change that.
