Taking Up Your Cross

Repost from a FB friend:

This is self-explanatory to me, but far too many believers expect not to pay the cost of following Christ. Walking with Christ costs you popularity because you won't be able to run with the same people you used to on your walk. You may face criticism from those "friends" you ran with because you decided to carry the cross. Believers should NOT take up the cross if they aren't ready to deal with the consequences. There are consequences for everything we do, good or bad.

Game Time

You find out real quick who/what's God in a person's life when it comes time to do what God says.

Today's Thought: Proof That God Answers Prayers

Some people miss the point of God answering prayers.

God doesn’t answer prayers to prove a point, he answers prayers to showcase his glory.

Introspection

When you stay in your lane & observe some things, you find out a lot about yourself.

No Drama

When you stay in your lane, you find out a lot about yourself. The older I get, the less tolerance I have for drama. Too bad I can't say the same for some people.

Men Go Their Own Way

The hypocrisy behind the MGTOW (Men Go Their Own Way)movement is men who abstain from women, but want to use them for sex. I refuse to try and make sense of that.

I want to speak briefly on MGTOW (Men Go Their Own Way). MGTOW is a men's movement that seeks separation from women, except for sexual purposes. Let me get this straight, a group of men want nothing to do with women outside of sex? That makes perfect sense...NOT. Yes, many men have been burned by women through custody and alimony laws and that has made them reluctant to marry, which I can't blame them. At the same time, did those men do their homework on that woman before marrying them? No. I don't subscribe to the MGTOW nonsense because I believe there are solid women out there, one has to look a little harder to find them.
