Deny Yourself and Pick up Your Cross

“[Jesus] said to them all, ‘If anyone wants to follow after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life because of me will save it'” (Luke 9). Pray that God’s people witness to those who serve in government and proclaim in a timeless voice the hope that is found in Christ alone.
