Family Christian is selling this little number for $9.99. Isn’t that great? I really hesitated to include the link, but I did least someone think I made this up. The marketing of Christianity is unbelievable today.

I told my wife and she was disgusted. She wondered how someone could say this and added that dying to self isn’t easy. I agree with her, of course. I don’t really even know what “Heaven is easy” actually means, but I do think it’s the wrong message to send in such a simplistic manner.

How easy was Christ’s death on the cross? Not very from what I can tell. And the cost was that God Himself died for sinners so it wasn’t only not easy but not cheap. And to be a follower of Jesus will cost you your life, it’s not easy.
