"The dying transgressor cannot purchase one hour's respite to seek mercy for his perishing soul"
Don't be weighed down by the cares of this life or ensnared, enslaved in worthless indulgences. You know as it is written the disciple it's not above his master nor his Lord. The Apostle is not above the Lord either. Now some people use indulgence as a word to get out of purgatory. But in modern days we could look at the Oxford dictionary and get a really good idea of what indulgence(s) really means. See above! These days people have countless idols and they are enslaved in worldly ways which is indulging in excessive idolatry and enslaved in many things that pull them away from Christ. Bigotry is their defense against the preacher more and more but such people truly "sometimes" have forsaken the master whom is the lord Jesus Christ being the head of the sheep and the true vein. You see it is Jesus the Messiah who taught us about all those parables regarding the lost sheep and that some have gone astray. There are many people that are religious and have gone astray. Many see and don't hear. Just like in the day of Noah so it shall be in the end days (of his coming) as written. Matthew 24.37. And guess what! it is exactly that. You know what stood out when I looked at commentary about picking up ones cross as apposed to my own view? The way I myself would word it usually. I found out "for whatever is the object that men forsake Christ that is the price at which Satan buys their souls." Heavy!!! "I never knew you". Here is a little bit of what I found that is profound.
Henry Matthew Commentary
"If any man will have the name and credit of a disciple, let him follow Christ in the work and duty of a disciple. If all worldly things are worthless when compared with the life of the body, how forcible the same argument with respect to the soul and its state of never-ending happiness or misery! Thousands lose their souls for the most trifling gain, or the most worthless indulgence, nay, often from mere sloth and negligence. Whatever is the object for which men forsake Christ, that is the price at which Satan buys their souls."
i:e "I want that!", "I got high today!", "I need my fix" etc. Apostle Peter said in 2nd Peter 2.22 "But it happened unto them according to the true proverb. The dog is turned to his own vomit again and the sow that was washed in her wallowing in the mire". They have glory in their shame. In definition (MIRE) being "heavy often deep mud or slush". Slush being sinful lustful indulgences. The dog returns to his vomit. Like a human being going back to drinking and being drunk after Alcoholic rehabilitation. Or someone taking drugs and ruing their lives as well as others even after getting much help. They repeat the slim/the filth.
You know there are those Christians who will say we are not saved by works but Christ Jesus said that narrow is the way and "FEW" be there that find it in their lifetimes. (That narrow way to life). Sure we are not saved by works but if the lord Jesus Christ is "REALLY" made lord in your lives he is the master and the disciple nor Apostle is above HIM!
So now we got to conclude that first it's important to not go above and beyond the master being the Messiah whom is the Lord of lords and the risen king of kings. But we need a better definition on what it means to actually take up your/ones own cross. A better clarification. Can it really mean the same thing that it meant in the first century when Christ was nailed to the cross? How many people these days "daily" take up "their" cross? How many people forsake it? How many backsliders exist? We can jump the gun being even true believers as do many people and find ourselves indulging/swimming in perpetual rebellious sin. Henceforth "The dog returns to his own vomit." As is written in the Bible God said he will puke out the lukewarm Church out of his mouth. Henceforth again "I never knew you". You see we can't go above and beyond our master and there are many parts of the body. The hand cannot say to the eye "I have no need of you." The leg cannot say to the foot "I have no need of you." "The mind can say/think about/to the spirit I have no need of you." But if your are truly born again/a true saved believer than we are told/know to renew our mind and seek his understanding. Spiritual discernment! So a good portion of the cross is to live the absolute Crystal clear truth. To uphold it by rebuking and exhorting. This type of "Truth"/"correction" the world "mostly" cannot/will-not receive. The world loves its own and takes counsel against the Lord. Yes, I could say that the earth is his footstool as it is! But that is not my main point here. My point is what is the cross we are to pick up/endure daily? How are we to do/achieve that? FAITH! Endurance to the finish line. Many of us even as true believers that are saved still might be led astray or be on the money one day and stray from the path another. Not pointing fingers as John 3:16. "Too much of anything is no good." Ever hear that saying? Burnout! Religious but lost! Lazy servant! Too many words in your prayer! Overthinking! Not enough freedom! Too much indulgence!!! Well God put life and death before us and Christ taught to choose life. True life is not boredom but the glory goes to God. Sin is an indulgence especially in worldly lustful ways. Christ said sin leads to death so that means you could sin enough or perhaps even just a tad and perish not repentant. The Lord Jesus Christ said repent or perish. There is no gain living in sin. Henceforth some people will say God is a monster for creating hell. Then again God doesn't send anyone to hell as people send themselves there as they were given free choice. There will be a judgment just as written there will be. Eternal damnation is absence from the light of God forever. So let's close with this compelling quotation by Henley Matthew below.
Matthew 16.25
"Whosoever will save his life — At the expense of his conscience: whosoever, in the very highest instance, that of life itself, will not renounce himself, shall be lost eternally. But can any man hope he should be able thus to renounce himself, if he cannot do it in the smallest instances? And whosoever will lose his life, shall find it — What he loses on earth he shall find in heaven."
Take up your crosses daily and live!!!

Listen to this testimony of this guy who had the corona virus and almost ended up on a ventilator and he almost died. Then the windows cleaner came in and asked if he could pray for him. Listen to this wonderful testimony of a soul saved whom understands the lord Jesus Christ.

Important message to add to this blog. Some Christians whom I love regardless say that their ministries are about the relationship with the lord Jesus Christ and not about "RULES". Alright! This blog has been about not going over and beyond the lord. We are to stand ground against error... be in direct opposition but at the same time the things on this blog should be in your mind and thoughts. We can say I have a relationship with the lord Jesus Christ but all the things he taught in the gospel especially those parables were nailed to the cross and they don't matter. He does not change yesterday, tomorrow and after tomorrow. When we love Christ "REALLY" things are not rules. At the same time look what he told the pharisees that they should have not left out mercy and faithfulness. He called them hypocrites. Should we be hypocrites? There are two greatest commandments that hinge all the others.. love your nab-our and God with all you heart, mind (might) and soul. The letter kills but the spirit gives life!!! Amen
Here is a video HERE that is profound recommended in the message.
