"I would like to buy $3 worth of God, please -
not enough to explode my soul or disturb my sleep,
but just enough to equal a cup of warm milk or a snooze in the sunshine. I don't want enough of him to makeme love a foreigner or pick beets with a migrant worker. I want ecstasy, not transformation; I want the warmth of a womb, not a new birth.
I want a pound of the Eternal in a paper sack.
I'd like to buy $3 worth of God, please."

- Do I want to pick up a cross?
- Make major sacrifices?
- Follow Jesus?
- Do I want comfort?
- Do I want acceptance for who I am, not repentance for what I ought to be?
