7/3/25

Good morning, Friends, 

Matthew 7:13-14 -[13] “Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. [14] For the gate is narrow and the way is constricted that leads to life, and there are few who find it.

It's easy to follow the path other people are on. There's a such thing called "groupthink", where people tend to follow the direction of the crowd, whether it's in action, thinking, direction, or passions. Jesus Messiah is teaching that wide is the way that leads to destruction. This is a way of the world system, a way that opposes Christ, a way that seeks its own path,  a complete waste of time and energy. This is not a path of Peace, this is not a path Holiness, this is not the path of Almighty God. 

Unfortunately, this wide road leads to people finding themselves and discovering their "true self-value". Sounds harmless? NAH, Nope, Negative!!!! This thinking is the hardcore embodiment of self-worship, pure exaltation on the pedestal of self-divinity. 

Friends, don't be fooled by false teachers and false prophets speaking for a world system that has been dominated by sin and completely submerged into depravity. Jesus Messiah is the way, the truth, and the life, and his way is narrow. The world system hates everything that is godly. Sanctify yourself by throwing yourself on the mercies of God, embracing the grace of God, and obeying the revealed word of God through Jesus Messiah. 

If many people are going in that direction, turn around and head the other way! The wide gate looks fun, but the narrow gate is life! 

Live bold, my friends!
