Guest Speaker Pat Spoke on "Choosing the Cross" this Sunday. We need to make a life decision to choose the cross over the crowd. But in doing this we have to change our lives- we have to choose the cross in everything we do, every day, every decision we make... As Pat said, we need to think what would we do if Jesus was standing beside you? In everything we do we need to ask ourselves this question.
I really liked the acronym that Pat used and the bible verses to go along with it;
C- Come to the cross (Matthew 11:28)
R- Rely on His strength (Philippians 4:13)
O- Offer yourself (Romans 12:1)
S- Seek Him first (Matthew 6:33)
S- Surrender your will to His (Mark 8:34)
I think that we should all read these verses daily and try to remember them throughout our daily lives, not only this week, but each day of our lives ahead.
Please use these weekly blogs as a way to be totally H.O.T. with one another- "Honest Open and Transparent". Feel free to comment, share, ask for prayer... whatever!
If anyone has questions- We would really like to start to challenge our "Answers Ministry" at Crossline, so please feel free to ask questions and we will get you answers! If you would rather ask them yourself, let me know and I will get you their e-mail address.

I loved the sermon on Sunday! I would love to just meditate on these verses this week and really try to apply them to my life. I hardly ever react the way I would if Jesus were standing next to me- and we have to remember that people are watching us, we NEED to be different so they can say- what is it that you have that I don't and I want that. I need to work on building a good foundation in my walk with the Lord, I have not been very good about reading my bible and praying as often as I would like to, adn i think these verses are a great start for that.
