Taking Up the Cross of Christ

When the Apostle Paul encouraged the believers in Philippi to "rejoice in the Lord always," and to "be anxious for nothing," he wasn't writing in ideal circumstances. In fact, he was under house arrest in Rome. He had also survived being whipped, shipwrecked, and stoned. On today's Good Friday edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson reminds us that Jesus said, "If anyone would come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me." Like Paul, we need to learn the secret of contentment by trusting God no matter the circumstance.
