Disentangling discipleship from idolatry

Randy McRoberts offers a few thoughts on what it means to be evangelical. His post is noteworthy in disentangling the idea of Christian discipleship from idolatrous devotion to country, or even to the cross as a religious object. Also, in the "Scripture Resources" section of this page I've added a link to Randy's exegetical resources.

Randy's post, I should point out, is an elaboration of this post by Ryan Wetzel.
