The Cross

The old cross is the symbol of death. It stands for the abrupt, violent end of a human being.

The man in Roman times who took up his cross and started down the road had already said good-bye to his friends. He was not coming back. He was going out to have it ended.

The cross made no compromise, modified nothing, spared nothing; it slew all of the man, completely and for good. It did not try to keep on good terms with its victim. It struck cruel and hard, and when it had finished its work, the man was no more. ~ A. W. Tozer

"And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it." ~ Luke 9:23-24

Lust

Lust can be defined as "desiring something that God forbids us to have."

Lust is a desire that focuses on satisfying self and no one else, not even God.

Sinful lust cannot be blamed on parents, environment, hormone imbalances, demons, or society.

James 1:14 clearly tells us where lust comes from: "But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away from his own lust!"

Intense passion for the forbidden may give you what you want, but it will take away and destroy everything you already have.

What to do when you are weak

"When a man has no strength, if he leans on God, he becomes powerful." ~ D. L. Moody

"And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong." ~ 2 Cor 12:7-10
