What is the Christian Reformed Church in North America's views about Luke 14:32 with regard to the doctrine of discipleship?

> Luke 14:25Now large crowds were going along with Him; and He turned > and said to them, 26“If anyone comes to Me, and does not hate his own > father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, > and even his own life, he cannot be My disciple. 27“Whoever does not > carry his own cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple. 28“For > which one of you, when he wants to build a tower, does not first sit > down and calculate the cost to see if he has enough to complete it? > 29“Otherwise, when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish, > all who observe it begin to ridicule him, 30saying, ‘This man began to > build and was not able to finish.’ 31“Or what king, when he sets out > to meet another king in battle, will not first sit down and consider > whether he is strong enough with ten thousand men to encounter the one > coming against him with twenty thousand? 32“Or else, while the other > is still far away, he sends a delegation and asks for terms of peace. > 33“So then, none of you can be My disciple who does not give up all > his own possessions. In the above passage, loving God more than anything else is the same as carrying a cross, is the same as paying a huge cost, for the privilege of being a disciple of Christ. The privilege of being a disciple of Christ is in turn the same as completing a tower, is the same as defeating a strong king. It could be salvation, receiving eternal life or entry to heaven. The puzzling verse is v32. Are terms of peace asking for extensions of deadline? Is it delaying the receiving of the benefits of Gospel? Why should the negotiations be with the enemy king? Similarly, if a person doesn’t have enough money to complete the tower, which can be interpreted to mean courage to face persecution, since Protestants believe paying a cost means facing persecution, does it mean he loses the claim to be a disciple of Christ, which is required for salvation/eternal life/entry to heaven? > Matthew 7:21"Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the > kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in > heaven will enter. What is the Reformed Church's views about Luke 14:32? All Scripture from the NASB. PS I checked the commentaries on the Biblehub site. [Protestant Commentaries](https://biblehub.com/commentaries/luke/14-32.htm) They are very contradictory. I may answer my own question with a coherent post if nothing is forthcoming from Reformed Church members. Note: By Reformed, I mean the [Christian Reformed Church in North America](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_Reformed_Church_in_North_America) , the CRCNA, Modified-Presbyterians with a largely Calvinist Theology.
