To die thyself, follow the cross, and follow the boss. That's a Christian. Now to stand here and say I've never questioned him would be a sin, which is something we know too well. I asked a friend of mine, do you dwell with the Lord? And before they spoke, they had to think about it, trying to find the right answer, and their words were poison like cancer.

Not too long ago, they spoke of love that Jesus brought But so quickly they withered and faded. They forgot about their sins and the one who paid it. Torn on a cross for your sake, took on a burden you could not take. But as soon as we do what's good and don't get rewarded the way we believe we should, it's like the wind grabs us by the hood and Satan leads us through the wood and he tells us, you deserve better. I can give you whatever. I can make that weight on your shoulder light as a feather. And we try not to listen, but he's relentless, knocks on the door until we lose patience.

There's a reason you're only saved through faith, because if it was by your power alone, then hell would be 99% of the population's home.

Let us follow Christ, let us follow in his steps, for there will be a time, but now is not the time to rest.
