Leaving Your Lover

THEY HAVE LEFT THE PATH OF TRUTH...

Have you ever confronted a fork in the road of life and paused, wondering which way to go? Or maybe you took the path that seemed most logical, without much thought.

Perhaps the new direction was the correct one...but perhaps not. What do you do if you travel the wrong path? You can't seem to retrace your steps because a sweeping crevasse looms now between the right choice and the wrong choice, one you can't traverse without grave risk of slipping and falling into a thousand feet of sharp-edged, rocky nothingness.

Read the stories of thirteen people from the Bible who stood at the fork and made a choice. See where their journeys took them. Judas made a choice and kissed the face of Messiah, changing his eternal destiny. Jonah chose the rocky path of disobedience and found he couldn't escape from God, even in the belly of a fish. Ananias and Sapphira chose to lie to God and died grasping their gold, finding they had to leave it behind. And Cain refused to worship God as God, letting envy crush the life out of his brother. These are but a few of the stories in this book, and they have a message for us, thousands of years later. Truth does not change; only lies do.

Pause at the fork in your road and make the right decision, not just for the here and now but for future descendants-your children, grandchildren, and generations beyond, doomed to suffer the consequences of your wrong choice and who scream silently at you to go back.

And if you're now on the wrong road, don't believe the lie that you can't turn back. For the first terror-filled step into the great divide will lay out a cross-shaped bridge before you, stained with holy blood-the sure road that will lead back to the beginning, where you will find grace to start again.
