Which Way Are You Going?

“In the Bible, life is a journey offering two roads. Regardless of how offensive this idea may be to the modern mind, it is “either / or,” rather than “both / and.” There are two perceptions of reality: the supernatural and the natural. There are two conflicting kingdoms: the kingdom of God and the kingdom of Satan. There are two entry points: the wide gate leading to destruction and the narrow gate leading to life.”  ~ Dr. Don Williams

What a great intro for our look into the first chapter of the book of Psalms this week.  The writer of this Psalm is definitely not wishy-washy; he makes no bones about it.  With regard to God there are two ways and only two ways a person can go.  And there are payoffs and consequences for either choice.

Your life is already on a definite path, no matter whether it feels like it or not.  There may be some things up in the air, but you have already made choices and chosen a direction to go in your spiritual life.  Even if you have chosen not to decide what to do about God, and have put it out of your mind, that is, in itself, a choice that has already set you on a specific path.  Which way are you going?  This week’s message is a call to happiness which begins by refusing to allow the anti-God world around you to dictate your worldview, your ethical life, and your moral decisions.

I invite you to join us this Sunday as we learn how to find wisdom to make choices that lead to a full and happy life.
