"Thinking like a slave"

Team Pyro has a great post about why we need to be involved at church, explaining how those who make excuses for not being a part of a church share the same flaw that "every one of them views the Christian life as a process of negotiation."

Another key point:

You see? It's all one. Jesus is Lord, or we are. If we are, He isn't; if He is, we aren't.

You and I need to think like a slave; and not only a slave, but a crucified slave, who has died to his old master, and come to life for another.

Then you and I take our truckload of excuses and
rationales and dodges and rationalizations, we say "Yep, I'm going to need help," we take them and ourselves to the Cross, we count ourselves dead to them, we plead for the enabling grace of God...

...and we obey.
