Jesus is Easy

Back in my day, the cheerleaders were easy. Jesus was difficult. Jesus required a commitment. Jesus is about doing what’s hard…living the righteous life, not the life of sin and vice.

But nowadays, people want Jesus to be easy. They want the abdication of responsibility without taking the responsibility for themselves.

Jesus isn’t easy, and shouldn’t be.

THANK YOU for pointing this out. The culture of commercialized Christianity is aggravating in that it shows a certain blindness and sets others up for disillusionment. Who would worship a knock-off Staple's slogan? Is knocking-off a slogan any form of worship, or at bare minimum, understanding? All of this needless to say -- your shorter comments speak all there is to say.
