Inspirations From The Mountains 

March 17, 2008 

     Most of us have a story to tell about a family member who has attempted to put a toy together but refused to read the instructions. Either the toy looked strange, wouldn't work, or extra parts were left over. The results were often hilarious. Many have thrown up their hands and quit, and then paid someone else to do it. How many travelers have gotten lost because they were sure they knew the directions, but refused to look at the map or ask for help? Major confusion!! 

     How many poor souls are struggling through life confused and frustrated because the road they're traveling is not leading them to the peace and success they desired? But they refuse to read the directions found in God's Word, and follow the map.

     Friend, if this is you, please, consider what I say. Find someone to lead you to the Romans Road (references are listed below), then follow the map. After learning all about the Romans Road, your next step must begin at the place called Surrender, and that means everything in your life. Surrender will point you to the road named Bible Reading where you will really get to know Jesus, your Savior. Bible Reading will lead you to the place called Prayer (You just can't help but talk to God.).  Prayer will put you on the road to Worship, where you will learn how to give God credit for what He has done for you. Worship will then point you down the road of Fellowship, where you will meet a lot of other folks on the same journey. Fellowship will take you to the place called Discipleship, the desire to become like Christ . From there take the road Service, which means putting the Lord and others first, and Service will point you to Evangelism. You won't be able to resist sharing your success with others who are still confused. Once you have followed this map you will find the peace and success you have longed for, because you will be fulfilling God's purpose for you here on earth. I guarantee it.

     But don't take my word for it. Read the instructions and follow the map.
