Are you an enemy of the cross of Christ? If you set your mind on earthly things instead of things eternal you will become an enemy of the cross of Christ and your end will be destruction, your God will always be your belly and the only glory you will have will be your shame.

My brothers and sisters in Christ, let us press on towards the goal, serving Christ without fear or shame, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are ahead of us. Let us glory in the cross of Christ, being mindful that he laid down His life for us, therefore we should be able to stand up and defend His name, a name that is above all other name. Let us never put anything or anyone before Him, because these things which are worthless will draw us farther away from God and the end thereof will be destruction. All the things that you and I have gained in sin could never be compared to what we have gained with Christ within. Praise the Lord!
