The potential for a happy abundant Christian life is available to all who would make Jesus the Lord of their lives, yet there are many Christians whose lives lack the joy and fullness of a truly happy life.
A keen observer once said to me, You Christians seem to have a religion that makes you miserable.
You are like a man with a headache.
He does not want to get rid of his head, but it hurts him to keep it.
You cannot expect outsiders to seek earnestly for anything so uncomfortable.
