Christianity is Offensive and Difficult: Against Destructive Self-Care

Are we meant to live lives of ease and comfort? Are we meant to go through life numb and comfortable until we die? Are we supposed to be nice and gentle and never offend anyone? Scripture says no. We are to be alive, active, doing hard things, teaching difficult things, and not focused on our own comfort. We are not to embrace a numb, painless existence, but to pick up our cross and follow Christ.
