Make a commitment to Jesus ?

Over this weekend it's struck me directly and indirectly - that we ask people to commit to Jesus - (even sometimes to church) but is that what God wants from us - a commitment to Him ?
Some of the old hymns can teach us about this
I Surrender All
When I survey the Wonderous Cross
Just as I am
Someone commented that when you defeat an enemy you don't ask for his commitment to your cause, you ask for his complete surrender. Are we short changing those we invite into a relationship to Christ ?

Not so discouraging divorce rates

Todd Rhoades picks up on Bradley Wright's analysis of recent stats and shows that Church goers don't have the same rate of divorce as non-church goers. However does point out that the results on not totally conclusive.
But this is not so discouraging as saying church goers are no different from non-church goers :)
