I've said many times that many people naming the name of Christ are afraid to actually say and live what His Word says because they are not willing to pay the price for doing so.
The words of Jesus about counting the cost are very real because many have actually counted the cost of saying and doing certain things. They know that those particular things carry with them a steep price, too steep.
For this reason, many will approach the Word and its Truths with their position in society, family, carreer, church in the back of their mind. Sadly, they turn their backs on such scenarios and attempt to make the best of their current situation. Meanwhile, the Word of God is rationalized and morphed in order to conform to their situation, thereby rendering them obedient. Of course, disobedience, by any other name, is still disobedience. And the cost remains unpaid.
