The spacious way (Part 1)


What a paradox it is that true living is found in what Jesus called the narrow gate (Matthew 7).....Which leads to the gift of Grace, from an all loving God who chooses to bless those who turn their back on him and choose to live the so called automous lifestyle (which in my opinion is a myth). As I've always said, Grace is something which is beyound ourselves and challenges the part of our ego which works to get recognition or reward. It turns upside down our own convention so much, that we choose to avoid it and rely on our own efforts, subsequently making it the narrow gate. But the more I come into contact with secular paradigms, the more I become convinced that the narrow way, is the only true way. Now one could say that as a Christian, of course I should be thinking that way. But there is much credence to the fact that modernistic enligtenment thinking and postmoden pluralism, if fully embraced, is the wide road leading to destruction (or the opposite to the narrow gate). And this will be dicuseed in part 2...
