The Narrow Path
There is no question that God loves us and wants us to have abundant life. Yet he has made it clear that the path that leads to life is narrow. Why is the path narrow and which path is the right path? The answer may surprise you. Key Verses: John 10:10, Mat 7:13-23, Lk 18:10ff, Lk 15:11ff, Acts 20:18-24, Heb 11:7-12, Col 2:13-23, Heb 11:6

Do All Roads Lead to Life?
Matthew 7:13-14 says"...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." One of the most common misconceptions about the world religions is that at the core of their beliefs, they are all the same. The analogy of a mountain with many roads that lead to the top, or the picture of an elephant surrounded by blind men trying to describe what they are touching, is used to explain that religion is really "ONE" but that the roads or paths to getting there are simply different. On a simplistic level, one might affirm the common spiritual desire that points people toward a spiritual reality. The pursuit of the transcendent is common in all cultures – anthropologists call it the "god-consciousness". But upon closer evaluation, one quickly sees that each religion has exclusive claims that set it apart from the other. In the midst of our pluralistic culture, one must ask: so which road does indeed lead to life? Key Passage: 1 Kings 18:16-39
