June 5 devo

Matthew 7:13-14

New International Version (NIV)
The Narrow and Wide Gates
    13 “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.



  • IF YOU WANT WHAT NORMAL PEOPLE HAVE, DO WHAT NORMAL PEOPLE DO.

  • IF YOU WANT WHAT FEW PEOPLE HAVE, DO WHAT FEW PEOPLE DO.

Okay to be different: Not only okay
When Spirit directed, WAY BETTER!

Be holy, because I am holy. 1 Peter 1:16

When we see a Pastor, or Priest - People look at them as the definition of a holy person.  I can say for myself... God is still working on me and the process will not be complete until I am in Heaven.  I am striving to be Holy in my life every day. 
 Greek Word for you... 

hagios (hag'-ee-os);  to be holy, pure, set apart, different.

To be different to be set apart (Sanctified)  to live in the world don't participate in all it deception. Be people of the word.. 


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pursue Christ with all of your heart—be different—weird!
Goal is not weird—honor God.

Remember—no cookie cutter weird—God’s custom weird…

~ No longer go to the parties              ~ Walk away from gossip
               ~ Pray/thank God meals
~ Live simply, give extrav.                
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Leave the wide road and live on the Narrow
