and because the haven was not commodious.
You know what the word commodious means?
It means comfortable.
You know what it means?
It means a place of convenience.
They made their decision because of the haven.
See, Paul said, hey, why don't you stay here?
Paul said, why don't you stay here?
This is where God wants us to stay.
And they said, that's not comfortable.
Be careful about making decisions based on comfort.
Be careful about making decisions based on what's easiest.
You can't show me in the Bible where God says, hey,
do what's easiest.
Do what comes natural.
Just whatever is the easiest, most comfortable thing for you.
You know what God says?
God says, take up your cross.
God says, sacrifice.
God says, work hard.
And look, when we make decisions based on what's convenient,
you know what you end up doing?
You end up putting your kids in daycare.
You end up throwing your kids in the public school.
I mean, isn't that easier?
You end up putting your wife on birth control
and having silent abortions in the womb.
When you make decisions based on what is easiest,
you will always make the wrong decision.
Because usually, what is easiest is wrong.
