No matter the cost...

In Acts chapter 21 the apostle Paul is warned by a prophet that he will be bound and imprisoned if he continues on to Jerusalem. Paul's friends try to dissuade him from going but Paul, sure of his call, goes anyhow. And what happens... Paul gets bound and put in prison.

The more I read the bible with my eyes wide open the more I believe there is no such thing as a good theology that promises safety. When God calls us out to follow Him it's far more likely that we'll encounter suffering than safety. The question I'm asking myself these days is why does my life seem so safe if I'm really following God?
