Two Paths


Once upon a time, there was a retarded young man whose heart's
desire was to go out on church visitation. One might wonder what
good a retarded person could accomplish. But, it was decided to
let him go.

He walked up to a strange door, in a strange neighborhood, and
knocked. A man answered the door. The young man asked, "Are you
going to Heaven?"

The homeowner answered, "No."

Then, the young man responded, "Well, go to Hell, then."

They tell me this was a true story and the stark shock of that
incident caused the man to realize his need for God. Thus, he
became saved.

Though we might get our lights punched out for trying the same,
it would be just as good were we to look at the "either ors", in
our life, with just as much boldness and honesty.

Either we are spreading our seed … Or we're letting people die
and go to hell.

Either we are forgiving ... Or we're holding a grudge.

Either we are standing for right ... Or we're standing with
Satan.

Either we are loving ... Or we're hating.

Either we are patient ... Or we're impatient.

Either we are serving ... Or we're disobeying God.

Either we are living by faith ... Or we're living in sin.

In every "either or" situation, there are only two paths. One of
them leads to destruction.
