In this brief sermon, the speaker interprets Christ’s instruction to “pick up your cross daily” as a call to recognize that believers serve God as a king rather than a president. He argues that serving a president allows for amendment of laws and selective obedience, whereas serving a king demands absolute adherence to the king’s (God’s) unchangeable rules. Consequently, Christians must accept and obey every biblical command without picking and choosing verses they prefer, because God is the sovereign King whose authority is absolute.

Chapters

So when Christ talks about picking up your cross daily and following him, this is actually a really important verse to understand, that we serve a king and not a president. When you're serving a president, you can amend the Constitution, you can amend the laws, you can change what you want. But when you serve a king, you are serving him by his rules and his rules only. We don't get to choose and pick and choose what Bible verses we like. We have to follow all of them because God's our king and not us. God bless.
