WHOEVER DOES NOT BEAR THEIR OWN CROSS AND COME AFTER ME CANNOT BE MY DISCIPLE.  FOR WHICH OF YOU, DESIRING TO BUILD A TOWER, DOES NOT FIRST SIT DOWN AND COUNT THE COST, WHETHER THEY HAVE ENOUGH TO COMPLETE IT?  OTHERWISE, WHEN THEY HAVE LAID A FOUNDATION AND IS NOT ABLE TO FINISH, ALL WHO SEE IT BEGIN TO MOCK THEM. LUKE 14:27-29
