The Narrow Gate

Here's a little something to think about...

"Enter through the narrow gate, for the gate is wide and the way broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way that leads to life, and those who find it are few." Matthew 7: 13-14

When I look back on some of the most troubling times in my life, I realize that it was often because I was going with the flow and making choices that required no courage or discomfort. Easy was the path that led me to places I would rather not have been in. I thought back then that stepping up to real challenges and embracing my faith in God was too much work. And because of that attitude, few were my blessings.

So we must turn against the tide of those around us following the broad path and choose the narrow gate. Knowing beforehand that it will not be easy, but God will be there with us as we struggle. We will find life in His grace, and life in His word.

Amen.

An Honor to Serve

On Saturday, October 3rd, I was ordained as a minister. I consider it an honor and a privilege to answer the calling on my life with this dedication.

"And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature."
(Mark 16:15)

I know this is a very brief update, but I have not had a lot of computer time recently. Moving at the speed of life...;o)


Hope to have more soon,
