"...but of Love, of Joy and of a Sound Mind."

Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to make you stand in the presence of His glory blameless with great joy, to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen. Jude 24-25

Cross on Chains

I do not wear a crucifix anymore because I don't know where I put it. But as time progresses, it became less and less of a profession of faith and more and more a fashion statement than anything else. The stars on MTV are wearing it, people in the streets are wearing it. What's their point? What's your point? I use to have a point to prove, but it became pointless. Today, I wear my "WWJD" bracelet and it started more discussion about my faith then the days I wore a crucifix. You'll definitely not see those MTV stars wearing this bracelet unless they truly believe in the God behind the idea.

Then again, it's only an ornament that we adorn on our wrist or our bags. Let's live our live so that we can match up to the question. Frankly speaking, Jesus wouldn't wear any of those stuff. The only thing that is on his wrist were the scars from the crucifixion. And the cross that he bore was not decorated in gold or precious stones. His cross was a heavy piece of wood that is a mark of shame that he dares us to carry.

Not many have the strength, but in Christ we can!



Cross on chains
Plated gold
Big or small
We'll never know
You must know my friend
I must take a stand
For the cross I bear
Not the cross you wear

You mock God

Hands on chains
There's no escape
Too blind to see
The King of kings
You must know my friend
I must take a stand
That the God u cuz
Is the God I serve

You mock God

I think you mean "cross" instead of "crucifix" as the crucifix is a cross bearing an effigy of "Jesus" crucified. The crucifix is usually associated with Roman Catholicism.
