On the Broad or Narrow road...which way will you take?
I saw this video over at Christianitywatch, a site by a brother in the Lord, Dazzarai in the UK. It really struck me so i thought i would post it here and let you guys really take it in.
This man is standing outside of Joel Osteen's Lakewood Church---one of, if not THE, largest church in the U.S. The gentleman is doing what is called "open air preaching" (which not many of us are familiar with these days, much less would attempt to do). Anyway, i know most of us might ignore this type of proclamation, however, i listened to what he said and it is Biblical....but how many of us WANT a Biblical message anymore? Watch, as the throngs and throngs of "church-goers" stream past him, shake their head, and even argue back at the man's message--all in a hurry to go in and continue to have itching ears tickled by Osteen who regularly and consistently preaches a "candy-coated" message--"it's all about you; just think positive and the world's your oyster; God is at your beck and call and wants you to have whatever you desire; man's words can "create his own reality", etc etc" . All the while rarely (if ever) mentioning what is sin, what is repentance, or true conversion.
It reminded me of the scripture that says, "broad is the way that leads to destruction and many there be which find it. But straight is the gate and narrow is the way that leads to eternal life and few find it." Watch the video and think about it. Which road are you on? eric
