religion in the church today goes to the cross but not through the cross it time to go to the cross through the cross and crucify our flesh and rise as a new creation in Christ by the power of God and walk in His Spirit in newness of Life. Romans 6 is a powerful chapter that opened my eyes back in 2009 . I sat in church services I saw people go to the altar and leave the same way that they walked in and that was nothing more than a form of godliness and here it is 2014 and I see some of the same people not being changed not growing . i sat for awhile and wondered why and the reason is they went to the cross stopping there wanting full benefits but they don't want to get on the cross and crucify the flesh they don't want to go to the tomb and die they don't wanna be planted in the likeness of His death they haven't been buried with Him yet so they have not yet been raised in the likeness of His Resurrection . and to them Luke 9:23 is verbally spoken but not physically lived in action .
