Re: This Stuff Doesn't Come Cheap
Quote:
How many times have we seen it? We are the proponents of the Gospel. God has designed us the perfect product (eternal life) and vehicle (the path through salvation). How many times have we seen its cost analyzed? How many times have we seen the vehicle re-engineered with flaws that remove what is vital to its integrity? I believe it is the right time to ask ourselves once again…What is this going to cost us? At what point do we stop continually reassessing the repercussions of tampering with the structure? In the process of our soul searching, when did we decide that removing seemingly non-essential (those aren’t heaven and hell issues) practices so that we can sell it cheap?
This Gospel is built strong, firm and will stand the test of all manners of trials. It needs no duct tape, no paper clips and no pruning. It doesn’t require a red tag, a blue light, a clearance rack or a bargain basement bin. This stuff doesn’t come cheap.

Can you be more specific and tell us what you see as parts of the structure that can't be tampered with? What "seemingly nonessentials" practices are we removing that cheapen the Gospel?
