How does one become Cross centred? It is not by applying the cross to every situation but rather begin with the cross. What do I mean? Let me give you an example.
Suppose I was teaching on finances. As I prepare my lesson if I stop and say how does the cross apply to this lesson then that is NOT cross centred but rather finance centred. However if I begin with an understanding of the cross and the Gospel and how that applies to all areas of life then allow my teaching grow out of that understanding then it is cross centred. I may know that God as Creator is the owner of all things including myself and my finances then I will know that it begins with the Gospel and not with my ownership.
