Got to work and hell broke loose? Ever walk in the door and be hit right in the face with every issue know to man without you even getting to say Hi honey I'm home? Pray every night read your bible twice a week and attend church twice a week, yet your child is addicted to drugs, what that all about? Join the local church gave your life to Christ next thing you know your spouse is leaving you and has taken all the money and left you with nothing and says it all your fault? What is going on here? You tide regular and now your car broke down and its going to cost your 2,500.00 you don't have, should God be helping you out?
This is not the Christian walk I signed up for, the Christian walk you sign up does not exist. You all the issue to go away stop reading your bible, go a step further throw your bible away you heard me right. Don't go back to that church ever again and stop praying look what it has got you so far. But if you signed to be a true follower of Christ then hear and understand his his words “Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me." (Mark 8:34) Strange I find that same saying again here “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me." (Luke 9:23)
Wait a minute, so your telling that I might have to suffer much as Christian? I didn't see that in the fine print, what about all those blessings and what about that line where he said whatever you ask in my name shall be done, doesn't mean that I should be getting good things?
Okay reality check Christ said this word that are still true to this day, “If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. So is he saying that we must endure pain and suffer because we claim to be Christians which is to be Christ like, but we wanted to be Christ like without the pain and the suffering and the trails and tribulation. We just want to show up Sunday have the pastor preach the word and then go home. No we are to busy to help out in Sunday School, no we don't have time to help with youth group and no we don't want to go to no early morning men's meeting.
We just want God to bless us and give us the easy road :)
Even Christ didn't want to die and suffer but he knew he must do the will of the Father, whose will are you seeking to do?
A man attempting to daily die to himself and become the true servant of the Lord and not his flesh.

Soo......The obvious question is....WIFM? For those without military background...What's in it for me? Possibly a crown or two....1 Corinthians 9:22-27; 2 Timothy 4:8; James 1:12; 1 Peter 5:4. How about fellowship (a real relationship) with our creator...Revelation 3:20; John 15:15. And that's just one or two off the top that I can think of.
