Luke 14:28     New English Translation

28 For which of you, wanting to build a tower, doesn’t sit down first and compute the cost to see if he has enough money to complete it?

But what if someone else pays for it?

Oh flesh! When you give orders, the Spirit of God seems quenched.

You act as a general in charge and always in want for another war

You live on standing in attention, and you never escape the pretense

For another star or another bar in search of an impressive “company” car
