DENNIS

Good morning everyone. I am Dennis Gossett with Central United Methodist Church. Every time I drive through the mountains, I notice the signs warning vehicles of the dangerous decline ahead. The signs are a yellowish/orange color with a picture of a box-truck going down a steep decline. Also, I notice that ever so often there are run-a-way ramps for cars and big trucks to use in case their brakes fail.

Often, I wondered if the ramps had ever failed to stop someone. But, can you imagine a person ignoring the warnings and continues to head down the mountain knowing their brakes would fail and the run-a-way ramps wouldn’t stop them? In our own lives, how often do we ignore the warning signs? Warning signs are those hints that say if you continue down this road nothing good is going to come from it, or there is for certain disaster at the end. All too often, people want to travel down a wide and fast path with no regard to how damaging it will be to their souls. Jesus said that the safest route is the road that is narrow and less traveled. If you want to learn more about a safer road to travel, then come to Central where we are constantly seeking the narrow way.
