There is a somewhat quip and clever motto in the performance automobile enthusiast’s realm concerning car choices and their outcomes.
It goes something like this:
Fast, Cheap or Reliable
Can only have 2. Which are they?
Fast & Cheap ⇒ Not Reliable
Cheap & Reliable ⇒ Not Fast
Fast & Reliable ⇒ Not Cheap
Let’s alter the parameters a little and translate this into the spiritual dimension:
Powerful, Cheap or Truth
Can only have 2. Which are they?
Powerful & Cheap ⇒ Not Truth
Cheap & Truth ⇒ Not Powerful
Powerful & Truth ⇒ Not Cheap

Where does your belief system fit into the equation? What two choices will we make concerning our eternal destiny?
A ‘cross-less’ walk with God is a ‘powerless’ walk with God:
And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. Luke 9:23
