^{Mark 8: 34-38}

34 When He had called the people to Himself, with His disciples also, He said to them, “Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. ³⁵ For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it. ³⁶ For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? ³⁷ Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? ³⁸ For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.”

We talked about this in our bible study this evening here in Laguna.. Its heavy. God doesn't want part of us, or a little bit of willingness. When it says "pick up your cross", it doesn't mean that it will be light or a pleasant death. What it does mean though, is that when you face your responsibilities get ready for your life to rock, because you gain the whole world by loosing yourself.. Its a lot for me to think about.

Another thought about this.. Wanna be Punk? Want to be counter cultural? Want to do the things that no one else is doing? Be Christian, Love God.

enjoy,
