"What does it cost to be a Christian in an un-Christian world?" To most of us, the cost was learning to be more effective in getting random folks to repeat the Sinners Prayer, whereupon notches were added to the old salvation belt! My first conquest turned out to be on the lamb from the law, disappearing into the woodwork as the cops moved in. My second was a Catholic lad whom I bullied into a profession of faith but who quickly recanted it after sharing the experience with his priest. A third was a buddy in college who pressed me to share with him what was different about me. He moved on to the military and likely fell through the cracks of life, as did so many of us all.
