MAKING CHOICES THAT MATTER IN LIFE



















MAKING CHOICES THAT MATTER IN LIFE


LIFE is nothing
But a series of CHOICES
That we make


They ALL ADD up to
Who we are-
Who we become
In life


SMALL choices-big choices
ENTER the narrow gate


“Enter through
The narrow gate


For the gate is wide
And the road broad
That LEADS to destruction


And THOSE who enter it
Are many


How NARROW the gate
And constricted the road
That leads to LIFE


And those who FIND IT
Are FEW” Matthew 7:13-14


CHOOSE LIFE with God
Life with Jesus


MAKE CHOICES that matter-
In life


Choose to make the
RIGHT DECISION-in all choices
In this life=SMALL & LARGE


“This day I call
The heavens
And the earth


As WITNESSED against you
That I have set before you
LIFE and death-
BLESSINGS and curses


NOW choose life
That you and your children
MAY LIVE


And that you may LOVE
The Lord your God
LISTEN to his voice
And HOLD fast to him...........” Deuteronomy 30:19-20


Some choices RARELY matter-
Your favorite ice cream-
Your favorite color-just matters
Of PERSONAL PREFERENCE


However=there are=
MANY that do matter


CHOOSE HONESTY over deceit
Choose KINDNESS over cruelty-
HUMILITY over pride
And FIDELITY & LOYALTY
Over infidelity


These are choices that matter
Choices that lead to ETERNAL LIFE
With God our FATHER=and Jesus=his SON


Choose life=ENTER the NARROW GATE


“But if
SERVING the Lord
Seems undesirable to you


Then CHOOSE for yourselves
THIS DAY-
Whom you will serve


Whether the gods
Your ancestors served
Beyond the Euphrates


Or the gods of the Amorites
In whose land you are living


But as for me
And my household
WE WILL SERVE the Lord” Joshua 24:15


Dear Lord=there are
MANY choices for us
In this life


HELP US to make choices
That MATTER=and help us
ENTER through the NARROW GATE


Help us to
TURN AWAY from TEMPTING choices
And STRENGTHEN our resolve


In the name of
JESUS the Son=and OUR LORD
