Snippet: Simple Math vs. Bad Math

snip·pet | ˈsnipit | noun a small piece or brief extract.

Here’s a snippet from pastor and author Scott Sauls in an article titled “The Bad Math of Derailing Spiritually”:

“It’s simple math, really. Everything minus Jesus equals nothing, and Jesus plus nothing equals everything. With Jesus, every other person, place, or thing we are given to enjoy is bonus—not something to plug our emotional umbilical cords into, but rather something to offer thanks for to God.”

Don’t make the bonuses the main thing.

Jesus…and everything else is a bonus!
