Priorities, commitments, what we consider most important—they can change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consider the Bible verse, “Seek first the kingdom of God, . . .”
That sounds like a priority, until someone pointed out that the Greek actually says, “Seek only<\/span> the kingdom of God . . .”
Well, what about the other things we have to have to make it in this life?
The rest of the verse gives the answer, from Jesus, “. . . and all these things will be added unto you.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In military conflict, commitment to the cause is superseded by surrender.
In following Jesus, commitment to the cause is superseded by surrender of everything, including our priorities that we consider so important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We must find out as soon as possible what God wants us to get out of life.
In following His plan for our life, we don’t have to keep adjusting our priorities and commitments and what we consider most important.

“Strait (limited) is the gate, and narrow is the way, that leads to life.”
“Wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leads to destruction.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We have two choices in life, two decisions—
ONE—Choose the very exclusive gate to start on the road to heaven—Jesus.
TWO—Decide ahead of time to say “NO” to every offer to get off the narrow road.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
