This book is presented with the sincere hope that it will be of
encouragement to anyone who may take the time to thoughtfully read
it. Socrates claimed that "the unexamined life is not worth
living." I am not sure if I agree with that statement or not. Maybe
some people can be happy by maintaining a childlike innocence and
steering clear from any serious efforts at introspection or
self-examination. Can't someone enjoy a worthwhile life without
having to waste time on so much "examination"? I guess Socrates had
his reasons for making such a sweeping statement and perhaps we can
get the message that a reasonable amount of self-examination will
contribute to our ability to lead a happy, productive and
ultimately 'worthwhile' life. In Luke Chapter 14, verse 28 we read
the words of Jesus: "For which of you, intending to build a tower,
sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have
sufficient to finish it?" In this passage, Jesus was talking about
counting the cost to be one of his followers. That is partly what
this book is about, sitting down and counting the cost; Jesus
continues in verse 31, ..".or what king, going to make war against
another king, sitteth not down first and consulteth whether he be
able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with
twenty thousand?" Here we see sitting down and consulting; these
verses suggest having a strategy and calculating - that is where we
are going; sitting down and consulting - reasoning together. "Come
now let us reason together, saith the Lord." Let's reason together
so that we will have a clear idea of what we believe, why we
believe and how we can be grounded and settled in the truth. While
reading this book, you will be faced with the question, "How were
you called?" The person who is called while a servant is free in
the Lord, the person who is called while free is a servant to the
Lord; each person is called differently and as we examine those who
were called by Jesus, we see a wide spectrum of individual
responses to the truth of the Gospel. When your individual response
to Jesus lines up with God's perfect plan for your life; you will
be empowered and blessed in this life beyond what you could have
imagined.
