christian Vs. disciple - what's the difference?

A large crowd was following Jesus. He turned around and said to them, "If you want to be my disciple, you must hate everyone else by comparison—your father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, even your own life. Otherwise, you cannot be my disciple. And if you do not carry your own cross and follow me, you cannot be my disciple.
"But don't begin until you count the cost. For who would begin construction of a building without first calculating the cost to see if there is enough money to finish it? Otherwise, you might complete only the foundation before running out of money, and then everyone would laugh at you. They would say, 'There's the person who started that building and couldn't afford to finish it!'

"Or what king would go to war against another king without first sitting down with his counselors to discuss whether his army of 10,000 could defeat the 20,000 soldiers marching against him? And if he can't, he will send a delegation to discuss terms of peace while the enemy is still far away. So you cannot become my disciple without giving up everything you own.

"Salt is good for seasoning. But if it loses its flavor, how do you make it salty again? Flavorless salt is good neither for the soil nor for the manure pile. It is thrown away. Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand! - Luke 14:25-35

RELIGION INCORPORATED

market strategies
demographic studies
million dollar buildings
exclusivity
stained glass fortresses
perfect pews all in a row
filled with suits and ties
building programs
land acquisitions
flee the inner city
build in the suburbs
lock out the freaks
post ushers like guards
bow to the rich
ignore the poor
fail to penetrate society
ignore the screams
close your eyes
to the war in the streets
build thick walls
isolate yourselves
pile the salt
hide the light
don't get dirty
react too slowly
grip dry tradition
play church
while the spiritual graveyard
inches closer
to your indifference.

Kingdom come.

is the breath that gives faith the beat love needs.

who is she.

Then I heard another voice from heaven say: 

   "Come out of her, my people, 

      so that you will not share in her sins, 

      so that you will not receive any of her plagues; 

 for her sins are piled up to heaven, 

      and God has remembered her crimes. 

 Give back to her as she has given; 

      pay her back double for what she has done. 

      Mix her a double portion from her own cup. 

 Give her as much torture and grief 

      as the glory and luxury she gave herself. 

   In her heart she boasts, 

      'I sit as queen; I am not a widow, 

      and I will never mourn.' 

 Therefore in one day her plagues will overtake her: 

      death, mourning and famine. 

   She will be consumed by fire, 

      for mighty is the Lord God who judges her.

i thank God.

for putting people in my life to cover my shortcomings. new Kingdom come.

just so i don't forget.

yah so i think the next big thing that will be used as interactive entertainment will be the integration of the web and television. Being able to watch TV while you surf the web, vice versa. You might think this is already happening but it's not. As your watching TV, say a commercial comes on for Papa Johns Pizza. This commercial in some way wets your appetite for some pie and you want to indulge yourself. So while the commercial is being played you can click on the link to order your pizza, in a separate window, order, pay and have it delivered. This can be the case for all ads "selling" products. As far as the TV programs that are out there, it will be integrated throughout the show. Let's say your watching a basketball game. Throughout this game you there are numerous facts that you might want to know for the team. During the game you might want to click the teams name for general stats about them or if it comes down to the details, while the game is being played and the players are running up and down the court, click on one of the players so you can get specific stats about the player. This could be done for all sports.

Another thing that could be done throughout a TV show could be little details that the producer might want to add to make the show a little more interesting. or going back to the consumer consumption, advertising companies can add their links to the products in the shows that the cast are using. 

You can do all of this without having to switch back and forth from either a desktop or laptop and the TV.
