Our passages for today come from Matthew 10:37-39

For a lot of us in America, being a Christian is part of the culture.  It is like baseball, hotdogs, apple pie and Chevrolet.

We go to church on Sundays because we always went to church on Sundays.

And if asked, we would say without hesitation that we love Jesus!

But how many of us Love Jesus more than we love our parents, wives, husbands, kids, and even more than we love our own lives?
