The way that leads to life...

Which way will you choose: the way that leads to life or the way that leads to death? The Bible tells us that the way that leads to life is a narrow way, a way that very few people will choose, because it is not an easy way. It is the way of the cross. Few go there. Those who travel there are often seen in solitude and singularity. Matthew 7:13 Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. Matthew 7:14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it. We were entreated to make every effort to enter through the narrow door... Luke 13:24 "Make every effort to enter through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able to. The way to death, on the other hand, is broad. Many people will choose to take this path. It is the great highway in which people go. They fall into it easily and without effort, and go without tho

Pride

The Bible tells us that God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble. James 4:6. Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD.. Prov 16:5a Initially, I didn't quite understand why pride is an abomination to God. God is extremely disgusted with a proud man.

We become far from God and no longer living in His presence under His care and protection. Pride is the main cause of Satan's

You are precious!

Sometimes, we think we are worthless, how can such a great God love us? If this is what you are thinking, perhaps you have to change your thinking. What God thinks of you and me count and it is true and the truth will set us free! We are more valuable than many sparrow. Matthew 10:31 Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows. Matthew 6: 26 Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? If God take notice of the meanest creatures, even of the sparrows, much more He will take notice of you. In God's eyes, we are more valuable than all the sparrows in the world. The most reassuring part of God's love is the high price he paid for you and for me. This is the most expensive price tag God had paid to save us - the death of His beloved Son! Romans 5:8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still si
