    Who you listen to matters. It determines who you belong to - who owns you. We can choose the easy road or the hard one, depending on who we listen to. Does it really matter what road we take. Absolutely!

    When I say “The Golden Rule” how many of you know exactly what I’m talking about? Jesus, as the big “A” author of God’s Word, can go into great detail about what His character means in our everyday relationships and actions, but He can also sum it up in just a few short words. The Golden rule is ...read more

    No road, no highway, no computer network can compare with the only true superhighway - the narrow way. Are you on that highway? We have so many paths to take in life, but God’s way is the only one that leads to eternal life.

    Opening illustration: Roads. They’re everywhere. Criss-crossing the landscape, taking us wherever we want to go … freeways … avenues … toll roads … boulevards. And now there’s yet another type of thoroughfare that’s taking us to never-before traveled ...read more

    Many believers are disturbed by the thought that there may be Christians who could be lost. We need the comfort of Christ Who offers "eternal life" so that we need never fear such an end.

    “Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few. “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but ...read more
