SCRIPTURES:

WITHOUT THIS NOTHING ELSE MATTERS ~ Mark 8:34-38
(Can you be challenged by anyone w/out recoiling?)

"‭‭When He had called the people to Himself, with His disciples also, He said to them, 'Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? For whoever is ashamed of Me and My Words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in the Glory of His Father with the Holy Angels.”

LOVE CAN BE HOT OR COLD ~ Matthew‬ ‭24:9‭-‬13‬ ‭
“Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My Name’s sake. And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another. Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. And because Lawlessness [iniquity] will abound, the Love of many will grow cold. But he who endures to the end shall be saved."

LOVE (ACCIDENTALLY?) LEFT BEHIND ~ Rev. ‭2:1‭-‬6‬
"To the Angel of the Church of Ephesus write, ‘These things says He who holds the Seven Stars in His Right Hand, who walks in the midst of the Seven Golden Lampstands: 'I know your works, your labor, your patience, and that you cannot bear those who are evil. And you have tested those who say they are Apostles and are not, and have found them liars; and you have persevered and have patience, and have labored for My Name’s sake and have not become weary. Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first Love. Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works, or else I will come to you quickly and remove your Lampstand from its place—unless you repent. But this you have, that you hate the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate."
