My Way or God's Way

My Way or God's Way

A woman once wrote me to say she thought Christianity
was fine but, personally, she was "into Zen."

She liked to listen to Christian radio while she was
driving because the music "smoothed out her karma."
Occasionally, however, she would tune in one of the
Bible-teaching ministries. In her opinion, all the
preachers she heard were too narrow-minded toward other
religions, so she was writing several radio ministers
to encourage them to be more broad-minded.

"God doesn't care what you believe, as long as you're
sincere," she wrote, echoing an opinion I have heard
many times. "All religions lead ultimately to the same
reality. It doesn't matter which road you take to get
there, as long as you follow your chosen road
faithfully. Don't be critical of the alternative roads
other people choose."

To those who accept the Bible as God's Word, the folly
of that thinking should be immediately evident. What
does the Bible say about following your chosen road
faithfully?1

"There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the
end it leads to death" (Proverbs 143:12, NIV).

"Jesus answered, 'I am the way and the truth and the
life. No one comes to the Father except through me'"
(John 14:6, NIV).
