“Time for a Gut Check”?

First, a question:

    ●  How many of us are content with “synthetic fruit”? You know: the kind that doesn’t require the death of the seed?

Here are two inquiring voices:

“... Christians, time for a gut check…”

Three final questions:

     ● Does our gut say synthetic or real?
     ● Do these quotes speak to soul?

“Before God can use you fully, He must have you completely.”

“Following Jesus isn’t about a stroll down a primrose path, but an upward climb to Calvary.”*

     ● Where am I individually on the road to Calvary?

23 And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified.
24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.
25 He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal  (New Testament | John 12:23–25).
