Narrow is the way

[hometown guy]

Are very own AFFer (Narrow is the way)preached for us last night and did a tremendous job. He preached on deliverance. I know some of you are disappointed that he didn’t hit on any standards . We had a great time in the Holy Ghost.

"Straight is the gate and narrow is the way that leads unto life". I will go out on a limb and say that the user name "Narrow is the way" is derived from that scripture.

Oh, I'm sure you're right that his name is taken from that scripture. I was referring to the scripture itself. Wonder what that scripture means. Narrow is the way.

It depends who you talk to. Mainstream Christianity believes they represent the narrow way (5 miles wide), whereas Apostolics believe their way is the narrow way (200 feet wide).

Figger, if there are 7 Billion people in the world, 650 million of them profess to be Christian, and 200 million profess to be Christian in the United States, and 4,036,945 of the world-wide population profess to be Apostolic...then you can kind of see how many are the narrow way however it is defined.

So then, you believe, Carpenter, that all mainstream Christians believe the way of Jesus is narrow? It's hard to think that is so, for by their conversations and actions, it is quite difficult to see such ways as narrow. Not judging at all, but really, I wonder if most Christians believe they are walking a narrow way?

Again, what is narrow? Restrictive, difficult? Less wide of course, but how measured? Actions, thoughts, beliefs, doctrine?

Hey, I'm just saying. I know lots of people who call themselves a Green Bay Packer fan, but they don't know the coach, the quarterback or even the fact that the Packers play football.

The fact of the matter is that the Lord told us HIS way is narrow and few there be that find it. I have to be concerned that I know the narrow way and my obstacles are not that which would tempt others to take a shortcut to the wide way.

The way is kind of like a pinball machine, I've never seen a ball do the exact same thing twice, but eventually it ends up in the same place.
