Summary
The easiest path we can take in life is one of comfortability and convenience. If we are not careful, we can go through life navigating between all of the things that do not challenge us too much or ask too much of us. However, at the heart of this way of living is self. God has a better way! God calls us to daily die to self. God calls us to put Him at the center and to orient our time, talents, and treasure all around Him! God asks us to give all for His name and His glory.
