the straight and narrow

There is no traffic on the straight and narrow path.  ~ Penny Raine

“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it. Matthew 7:13-14

how is your heart?

“The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it? “I the LORD search the heart and examine the mind, to reward a man according to his conduct, according to what his deeds deserve.”                                     Jeremiah 17:9-10

Have you ever heard someone say they are going to heaven because they have a good heart? There is a huge difference between what we think is good and what God thinks is good. King David committed several sins and yet was described as a man after God’s own heart. So it can’t be that God describes “good” as sinless. God sees a willing heart as good. But even that isn’t good enough to get us into heaven. There is but one way, to recognize that alone you have made a mess of your life and that you are in need of a savior. And then call on the only who can save you.

His name is Jesus.
