CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Matthew 7:13-14 “13 gEnter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy1 that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. 14 For the gate is narrow and hthe way is hard that leads to life, and ithose who find it are few.”

Reflecting on this verse in my daily Bible reading, I was struck by the “gate is narrow and those who find it are few.” Perhaps one reason it is hard to find is that there are so many truths being screamed at all of us, and all are said to be equally valid. The law of non-contradiction says that can’t be true. Living a personal “truth” that is not congruent with God’s absolute truth as revealed in the Bible will not lead to the good life now, eternal life, or flourishing. That only comes from not just embracing, but also submitting to the truth of our Lord. I know that isn’t a popular message today, but encouraging people to live their “truth” if their “truth” is harmful isn’t loving at all. It’s like letting at toddler play in the middle of Alcoa Highway because we are worried we might upset them. Sometimes we have to be the ones to tell a hard truth, even if that hard truth conversation is just one we have with ourselves. God’s truth should set us free. God’s truth leads us to redemption, instead of enslaving us to our own lusts. Praying for you men, and have a great rest of the week.
