Do You Serve God With a Closed Mind

Do You Serve God With A “Closed Mind?”

I met a person who didn’t need to be reminded.
He said; “I serve God.”  “But I’m open minded.”

I wondered for a minute what he was thinking…
  “Has this person been drinking?”

He talked about a God of love and grace.
Anything he thought old-fashioned, was out of place.

He wanted to live by his own “set of rules.”
“Whoever believes the whole Bible are fools.”

He seemed to only believe scripture at his own discretion.
Not wanting anything to do with God’s holy salvation.

Perhaps this “open mind” needs
 to be closed for “repairs.”
And opened to a God who loves him and cares.

“There is a way that seems right… “  
“But the end leads to death.”
Choosing the way of Christ is always the best!

“Narrow is the path to life.”  “Broad is the way to destruction.”
Choosing “our own path” is a dangerous presumption.

God is a God of mercy, grace and goodness too!
A life of righteous and holy living
is what he asks of YOU!

Living for Jesus may seem to be “close-minded” to many.
Those who are sold out to him…   Are there any???

The road to an eternal life with HIM is narrow and straight.
JESUS is the only way to enter heaven’s gate…

Why not allow HIS presence to fill your soul?
 HE can COMPLETELY make you WHOLE!

“He has not given us fear.  But of power, 
love and a sound mind.”
Won’t you give him a chance? 
 While there’s still time?
