βNo man who is the friend of the Cross of Christ will give license to his passions, or indulgence to his appetites. If he does so, he proves that he is the enemy of the Cross of Christ. No man will seek honor for himself who has known that Christ has bought him with His blood. He will not, he cannot, he dare not live for himself, either in the accumulating of wealth, or the getting of fame, or the enjoyment of pleasure. His first, chief, master thought is, βFor Jesus Christ all thingsβall things in Him, and for Him, and to Him, seeing that He has redeemed us with His precious blood.β They who shirk His service, who take no interest in holy enterprises, who just try to live to themselvesβyour eaters and your drinkers, your hoarders and your men and women who are always adorning the body, but never consecrating their souls to Godβthese are they who are βthe enemies of the Cross of Christ.β It galls their shoulders and they will not bear it, so they turn aside to ways of their own.β-Charles H. Spurgeon
