Middle Road?
Week after week the door opened and I would inhale the smell of graham crackers and apple juice. Week after week we would be taught the Sunday school answers God, Jesus, Noah, Moses, Mary rode on a donkey, ect and we were also taught about the wide and narrow road. In Sunday school we talked about how the wide road was the easy way that many people would sadly take just because it was easy, but there is also a narrow path with twists and turns. It might appear that the only difference between the paths are that one is wide and one is narrow ,but there is a much greater difference. On the wide path you are alone and might apear to be loving every minute of life; go to the bar, get wasted, pick up a girl, bring her home and love life. It's your life so you can do what you want. Right? Many are probally thinking "wide path it is", sadly you haven't heard the flip side to the narrow path. The narrow path you have a leader and although this world might not bring you happiness, your leader will give you happiness for eternity at his home once your work here is finsish. Seems like the better choice now doesn't it? It is, but many choose not to take it ,because they want to drink and live there life. They chose the wide path, because it is easy as 1,2,3.....Life isn't ment to be easy. Life is meant to be hard and at time you are going to be on your knees and be lifted off your feet. That is OK....once again...That is Ok....Trials aren't bad.....Trials are glory, they aren't for glory. Trials aren't God saying make it through this and you are in. Trials are make it through this and you will see my love in the end. Many people choose not to follow because God commands believers to be different. Although many christians think "God loves me, so I can do what I want." 1 John 2:15-17 says "15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever." That is a command from God, notice there is no middle road.
