Matt. 7:13 You can enter God’s Kingdom ONLY through the narrow gate. The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose that way. But the gateway to life is VERY NARROW and the road is DIFFICULT, and only a FEW ever find it.

This is one of those verses that we should all remember and meditate upon all the time. It brings something that the church wants nothing to do with today and that is the FEAR OF THE LORD! God forbid that we repeat the words of Jesus in the sermon on the mount where He makes it plain for everyone that it is a narrow way and it has a narrow gateway.

One of the battles that the church is fighting in futility is to prove to the world that we are not narrow minded. I often say that most accusations made by religious spirits are true and this is proof yet again. When we say that people of any kind that are still wallowing in the mire of sin are going to hell people rant and rave with unrighteous indignation that we dare condemn someone for being on the broad way. The church of today seems paralyzed by the simple accusation that we are narrow minded. This age-old trick of the enemy has worked for thousands of years and why abandon it now when it seems to reak havoc on the church of today?

When I hear that someone has called me narrow minded it strikes me as a compliment. The alternative is to be broadminded which speaks of someone who thoroughly understands the broad way of destruction and remains open to possibilities outside of God’s Word. A broad minded person is not someone who is passionate about the narrow way! James 1:6 says a double-minded person is unstable in ALL their ways.
The narrow gate is the Cross and you cannot bring anything with you through that gate. Sin cannot pass through that gate and neither can a broad mind. A person who is open to other ways to heaven is not a person with revelation of the Cross and the narrow way. A person who believes that despite the obvious fruit of wickedness and evil a person is still eligible for heaven is someone lacking the conviction to travel the narrow way. Those who insist that the love of God is broad enough for homosexuals and atheists are those with no relationship to Jesus and have formed an idol in their minds of who God is.

So, lets quit denying this goofy religious and worldly accusation that we the redeemed of God, washed in His Blood, and obedient to His Word are narrow minded. I say we cant help it! It is a narrow way and it does not befit those with a broad mind. Let the world continue in its deception of being broad minded and let the real church press forward in the narrow way. Remember: the true bride is most single-minded in her pursuit of the heavenly Bridegroom!

The Spirit and the Bride say COME! Rev. 22:17
