Mankind’s success begins with the Cross.
It is the source of spiritual and moral principles.
First the spiritual, then the moral.
When there are spiritual principles, there will also be moral principles.
When the fear of God exists, there will also be love, faithfulness, respect, honor, consideration, and compliance in your marriage.
Your spiritual character is reflected in your moral character.
The Cross guides the spiritual and the moral.
The vertical beam on the Cross represents man’s personal relationship with God. This beam was established in the First Commandment of God's Law: "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and great commandment," Matthew 22.37-38
In practical terms, this means that the Lord God has to occupy the First Place in a man’s life, and be the Focus of his attention, consideration, respect, faithfulness and fear.
God does not accept to divide this position with anyone else. This is why Jesus made it very clear when He said:
"He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it," Matthew 10.37-39
Once this principle of faith is established, the next step is the formation of the horizontal beam of the Cross.
The Second Great Commandment, which is similar to the First, is:
"You shall love your neighbor as yourself," Matthew 22.39
Who is closest to you, if not your husband or wife?
Therefore, the horizontal beam of the Cross is made up of two parts: a husband and his wife. Nevertheless, these parts must be extracted from the vertical beam, so that the Cross can be built with wood from the same tree: the Tree of Life.
Once the Cross is established in someone's life, this person, undoubtedly, will be “as a tree planted next to rivers of water, that in due time gives its fruit and whose leaves will not wither, and everything this person does will be successful,” Psalm 1.3

Don't Be Greedy!
We live in a world where most of people have been very greedy they never get tired of searching for more no matter what it takes they want more and many times for them to conquer a better position at work, at school or in any other area of society, they lie and corrupt themselves, in some cases they even kill each other, it doesn't really matter because what they want is above anything. Well, to see this type of attitude among unbelievers is not a surprise for us but among Christians is unacceptable. There was a dispute among the disciples to decide who was the greatest among them, they were fighting for a position.
When we become servants of God the most important thing for us is to serve Him no matter where or how we are going to serve, either cleaning, cooking, preaching, evangelizing, opening or closing doors, etc... the pleasure of a servant is to serve and for a servant there is no good or bad place because he is a servant and his priority is to please His master.

Two Ways
"Now it shall come to pass, if you diligently OBEY the voice of the Lord your God, to observe carefully all His commandments which I give you today, that the Lord your God will set you high above all nations of the earth". Deuteronomy 28.1.28.1 This is one way.
"But it shall come to pass, if you DO NOT OBEY the voice of the Lord your God, to observe carefully all His commandments and His statutes which I command you today, that all these curses will come upon you and overtake you; Deuteronomy 28.15 This is another way.
Which way have chosen?
