We want Him as Savior, but not as Lord.  We want the privileges of our faith without the responsibility. 5 Our Choice True Discipleship or Church as Usual (Business as Usual) Without true discipleship we will surely lose the next generation of young   Americans. 6 Is Jesus worth it? Do you and I really believe that Jesus is so satisfying and so rewarding that we would be willing to leave all we have and all we own in order to find our fullness in Him?  Do you and I believe Him enough to obey Him and to follow Him wherever He leads?
