The greatest single cause of atheism in the world today is Christians who acknowledge Jesus with their lips, then walk out the door and deny Him by their lifestyle. THAT is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable.

While we may not be called to martyr our lives, we must martyr our way of life. We must put our selfish ways to death and march to a different beat. Then the world will see Jesus.
-Michael Tait
Death is much sweeter to me with the testimony of truth than life with the least denial.

One question-
Is He worth it to you?
Because if not, have you stopped to ask yourself if you're truly taking up your cross every day and following Him?
I am asking myself this today. Why don't you?
Then Jesus said to his disciples, "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will find it.
-Matthew 16:24-25
