He simply said, \"If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me\" (Matt. 16:24). Sounds simple enough...until you begin to break it down.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn today's affluent society, most are not accustomed to denying themselves anything, even if they don't have the means to pay for it. Personal responsibility is at an all-time low. When tragedy strikes, we look for someone or something to blame. Certainly not my fault.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJesus requires us to take up a cross. Well, that's easy enough...gold, silver, or platinum? But don't forget the cross is not jewelry to be worn; on the contrary, it is an instrument of death. Our death.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHave an addiction that you are struggling with? Perhaps you have concluded that God made you to live as a homosexual. God's fault there. And that alcohol or drug addiction, well, it's a disease. Not my fault there either.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSo open the pages and take a look. Dare you. The hard truth for all is that the Bible, God's Word, is a mirror. You and I must see ourselves, in light of His Scriptures, as He sees us. But read on. The Bible contains all the power and tools you and I need to obey Jesus' command. So take up your cross and follow Him \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Covenant Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/19\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781644681619\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 382\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.23lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.85d","brand":"Barry L.
