I grant it costs much to be a true Christian. But who in his sound senses can doubt that it is worth any cost to have the soul saved? When the ship is in danger of sinking, the crew think nothing of casting overboard the precious cargo. When a limb is mortified, a man will submit to any severe operation, and even to amputation, to save life. Surely a Christian should be willing to give up anything which stands between him and heaven. A religion that costs nothing is worth nothing! A cheap Christianity, without a cross, will prove in the end a useless Christianity, without a crown.

TAKE IT ON THE CHIN
By J. Randal Matheny © 2012

With seven blessings, complete, the perfect sum,
The apostle points the saints, by inspired sound,
To the promise of joy before the Roman drum,
And urges them to faith, to stand their ground,
Resist idolatry, refuse to succumb.
Awaiting those who take it on the chin,
The Lamb's beatitudes for warriors who win.
