Serving God With An Open Mind

Serving God With “An Open Mind?”

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

I wondered for a minute what he was thinking.
“Is he really serious?”  “Has he been drinking?”

He began to talk about a God of love and grace.
Anything seemingly old-fashioned was “out of place.”

He was determined to live by his own “set of rules.”
“Whoever believes the Bible are a bunch of fools.”

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

Perhaps this “open mind” needs
 to be closed for “repairs.”
And opened to a God who loves him and who 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 a “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.
But HE is the only way to enter heaven’s gate…

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

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