More Bonhoeffer
OK, so I've read a little farther in the book The Cost of Discipleship. Bonhoeffer expounds a bit more on the concept of cheap versus costly grace. A point that Bonhoeffer makes is that cheap grace must be hated by disciples. Cheap grace denies the sacrifice of Christ and does not require that we as Christian actively follow Christ. Cheap grace allows a Christian to spend an hour on Sunday being told his sins are forgiven and then spend the rest of the week living like the world.
"Father in Heaven, always let me remember that I am bought with a price. Let me remember that the price was dear to you and let me stay in your ways. Amen."

Additional reading-- 1 Cor. 6:19,20-verse 20 carries your prayer exactly. I'm thankful for your blog, which has rekindled the embers of my hunger for God and His Word. A thought came to me during a school journal, "The thirsty will drink the dew." May we become so thirsty that we will rather have one dew drop of God's Word than the whole world. Thanks for being faithful to God; it has been already (and I hope it will continue to be) a tremendous blessing. Love you, Uncle. God bless.
