QUIET TIME TAKEAWAY:
Christ's cross is the most worthy prize, not the earthly crown.

MY NOTES:
Over 40 camels are disqualified from a beauty contest in Dubai due to Botox injections. ($66m in prizes!)
The club wants to "halt the acts of tampering and deception in the beautification of the camels."
From Dennison Forum

(I ask myself: Why don't we hold ourselves to the same standard and accept ourselves just as God made us?)

"The Gospel is contrary to man's corrupt nature. It assures us we are saved by another's righteousness not our own. It has no bribe to entice us; it doesn't present itself in a whore's dress to seduce us adulterating its purity. It is the cross of Christ on your back, not an earthly crown on your head that matters."
William Gurnall - part quote part paraphrased

"If any man will come to me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me."
Mat. 16:24

MY TAKEAWAY:
God doesn't pretend to be someone other than who He is, perhaps he wants us to stop tampering and pretending too.

His cross is the most worthy prize, not the earthly crown.
