Discipleship begins with a choice

Jesus tells us that if we would come after Him, we must deny ourselves, take up our crosses daily, and follow Him. Joshua tells the children of Israel to "this day, choose whom you will serve", explain that he and his house would serve the Lord. Elijah, on Mount Carmel, tells the children of Israel to serve Baal if he's god. But if he's not, then serve the real and living God alone.

"Here oh Isreal! The Lord is our God, the Lord alone! You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your might."
