From the [DashHouse Archives](https://www.dashhouse.com/darryl/dsd0306.htm), written by [Mark Riddle](http://www.theriddlegroup.com/blog/?ref=dashhouse.com):

> Is it any wonder it’s easy for us to lose touch with the gospel when we can’t even identify what it means to take up a cross?

> Christ didn’t die so we could have worship services that meet our needs.

> Christ didn’t die so we could be treated with kid gloves like a fickle consumer on sunday mornings.

> Christ didn’t die so we could get something out of bible study or small group.

> Christ didn’t die so the church could be active and busy.

> The central theme for far too many churches seems to be comfort and customer satisfaction.

> The central theme for christianity is suffering, the executioner’s cross, the blood spilled and body broken of Eucharist, baptism’s metaphor of death burial and resurrection.
