Distracted to Death

 

Roads these days are cluttered with signs.  Garage sale signs, road signs, for sale signs, banners and build boards litter the landscape.  Driving up US 281 North or any congested freeway in America can overload your senses with signs, attempting to hinder us from arriving at our desired destination.  Watch the video below to see just how easy we get distracted on a daily basis. So many choices, detours and temptations can easily take us off course.  The road of life can present similar distractions.  For the saved, the road we travel is narrow and difficult.  If we are not careful, we can become distracted by the signs leading us off the road that takes us to our final destination.  We can become distracted to the point of death.  Not eternal death, but death of purpose, death of relationships, death of a ministry or death of an abundant life. 

I invite you on a journey using the vehicle of this blog to explore the many distractions that secretly and silently destroy our witness, our worship and our walk. Expect challenges, persecution and a small crowd.  Jesus told us as much in Matthew 7:14,” Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.”  Ride in the back or ride shotgun, but get in the car as we embark upon this adventure, focused and determined to stay on the narrow road.
