"Let us constantly bear in mind the rules and principles of Christian warfare; namely, that we conquer by yielding, we receive by giving, we overcome by being defeated, and we live by dying. There is no other way except the way of the Cross. The Cross of Christ stands out on the horizons of time and eternity, not only as the means of pardon from sin and the gateway to Eternal Life--but as the one and only principle of Christian conduct. "If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it." (Matt. 16:24,25). - George

We must understand the rules and principles of Christian warfare and living. The conduct of a Christian is to continuously deny oneself. But today's Christians are too much alive in the flesh. We want to blame everyone else. We want to find the easy wide road even though we professing to be walking on the narrow road. We carass worldly idols but yet we deny we have idols. Just as in the old days, many are in sin and many are dying in their sins as judgment and curses are upon them. We must humble ourselves and be awaken to what is really around us.
Jesus said, "Come follow ME." How many of us are really following HIM? How many are really believing in HIM? How many really have genuine faith? There are too many fake Christians. It is time to return to our First Love. How do you know you are not a fake and just a professing Christian? God will one day ask you, where is your fruit? Your time on Facebook does not define your fruit nor does it make up the guilt of not spending enough time with HIM.
HE will say to many Christians, "I do NOT know you! Away from ME you evil doers! Law breakers!"
