Do you need to be committed (Lesson 3)

What does it take to be totally committed.

Luke 14:33-35 NASB “So then, none of you can be My disciple who does not give up all his own possessions.  (34)  "Therefore, salt is good; but if even salt has become tasteless, with what will it be seasoned?  (35)  "It is useless either for the soil or for the manure pile; it is thrown out.  He who has ears to hear, let him hear."

The committed disciple makes the sacrifice.  Take salt for example; Salt is powerful.  It enhances flavor, preserves, cleanses and heals.  If we are a salty disciple, how do we do these things?  We are to have an influence on the people we interact with each day.  If we let our light shine people will know and when people see Christ in us it will affect their lives. 

Salt is an element that does not lose its potency.  However, it can become contaminated.  When this happens, it becomes diluted.  What does this indicate about an unsalty disciple?  You may not be totally committed.

There is a story of the ham and egg breakfast.  The chicken just made a donation but the pig is totally commented.  We as disciples must be totally committed to Christ.
