Dear brothers and sisters, when I was with you I couldn\u2019t talk to you as I would to spiritual people. I had to talk as though you belonged to this world or as though you were infants in Christ.<\/em> I had to feed you with milk, not with solid food, because you weren\u2019t ready for anything stronger.<\/em>   1 Corinthians 3:1-2<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A \u2013 Admit I Am A Sinner<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

B \u2013 Believe On Jesus Christ<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

C \u2013 Confess As Lord & Choose To Follow<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God\u2019s glorious standard.<\/em>   Romans 3:23<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.   <\/em>Romans 6:23<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice\u2014the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him. Don\u2019t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God\u2019s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.   <\/em>Romans 12:1-2 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other seed fell among thorns that grew up and choked out the tender plants so they produced no grain.   <\/em>Mark 4:7<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The seed that fell among the thorns represents others who hear God\u2019s word,<\/em> but all too quickly the message is crowded out by the worries of this life, the lure of wealth, and the desire for other things, so no fruit is produced.    <\/em>Mark 4:18-19<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And if you do not carry your own cross and follow me, you cannot be my disciple.   <\/em>Luke 14:27<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said to another person, <\/em>\u201cCome, follow me.\u201d<\/em> The man agreed, but he said, \u201cLord, first let me return home and bury my father.\u201d60 But Jesus told him, \u201cLet the spiritually dead bury their own dead! Your duty is to go and preach about the Kingdom of God.\u201d   <\/em>Luke 14:59-60 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another said, \u201cYes, Lord, I will follow you, but first let me say good-bye to my family.\u201d But Jesus told him, \u201cAnyone who puts a hand to the plow and then looks back is not fit for the Kingdom of God.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 <\/em>Luke 14:61-62\u00a0 <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
