Isaiah 25:15 Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:

No way does this apply to me. How about you? Does this apply to you? For those who are in Christ I suspect you would agree with me, no way!

Let us look at it from a worldly perspective. They say exactly the same thing about us.  They tell us we are cast under a spell of delusion. We are delusional. We refuse to accept the truth. We are the ones hiding from reality.

So what is the difference between us and them?

Those on the path to destruction are being told, you’re good, keep it up, this is so satisfying. Every path gets you there.

We who know Christ are told you messed up there. You should know better. Do it again until you get it right. Stop it. Don’t go there. Here let me show you a better way.

He who is Truth doesn’t sugarcoat it. We are only encourages when we do right. The rest of the time we are trained up in the Way we should go. Training means discipline, the root word for discipleship.

Matthew 7:13-14 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

Few find it. Being in the majority does not make you right. That is a lie they want you to believe.
