Two Paths - The World vs The Gate

About Us

At Concerned Christians Canada, we are committed to speaking out and bringing the truth of God's word to bare on all aspects of society and life. Speaking into the culture is in fact being the salt of this world that Christ called us to be.

Christ said we are the light of the world. He said that we are not to hide this light under a bushel but that we are to live as examples of holiness and Godliness in this dark world. With our projects, which are focused on serving and blessing, we are committed to demonstrating the love of Christ without forsaking the gospel. We regognize that we are to be salt and light, not salt or light.

Concerned Christians Canada is encouraging Christians, who are called by Christ's name to stand for Christ, and when they have done all to stand, to stand having girded themselves with the armor of God. We are sounding the trumpet call to all men and women that love the Lord to be the watchmen over the nation that we are called to be.

Our nation, although founded by men who believed in the God of the Bible, has markedly departed not only from holding the Bible up as THE authority for and above all men, but has substancially departed from honoring the God of the Bible.
There are many attacks on the Biblical definition of the family. God has blessed his definition of marriage, other choices bring curses, not only on the adults but also on the children and on the society that embraces those choices.

CCC is committed to explaining the benefits for God's design for marriage. As an organization, we are also committed to promoting God's model, to individuals, groups and politicians.
In this day and age, youth are hurting. Whether it be that they have been wounded by sexual, physical, emotional or spiritual abuse, at home or elsewhere, or broken by "dating" which has left them abandoned and broken, whether they have had stability and security robbed from them due to their parents divorcing, or any of a myriad of other problems, children are more and more hopeless and need to know that Christ is for them if the turn to Him. Find out how CCC is reaching out to youth.
We need your prayer support.

God is our source and our provider, but he uses people like us to pray for one another, to edify one another and to build each other up in the faith. He uses people like us working together in the Spirit of Christ to change lives. Find out how CCC is encouraging the body of Christ to work together to Pray, Act and Make a Difference!

Two Paths - The World vs The Gate

(1 vote, average 1.00 out of 5)

Are you worldly? What do I mean? Perhaps you are focused on drinking partying and having sex. Perhaps you are focused on the score of the next sports game. Perhaps you only want to have a “good time” and forget about the consequences. Maybe your thinking that you may not be here tomorrow anyway.

I want to tell you something. In this life, you have two paths to choose from. One path gives you the sense of pleasure for a time but has no lasting peace. On that road, you may have many “friends”, you may have many people that will walk with you, and help you to hold your head up as you vomit in the toilet. They will laugh with you, and will seem to be the ones that you can't live without. They will smoke with you, do drugs with you, “party” with you and will tell you all the things you want to hear. They will seem to accept you as you are and will call you the funniest person they know as you tell them the most disgusting jokes that you have ever heard. They may encourage you to go after fame and riches and prestige. They may even help you get there. You will likely find yourself keeping so busy with activities or events, drunk or drugged up that you don't have a moment to think. You may even keep trying to add more and more accomplishments to the list of things that you can brag about to others in hopes that it will help you feel good about yourself. The problem is that at the end of the day, when you are alone with your thoughts, you will feel a deep sense of loneliness, and a deep ache in your innermost being. I want to warn you right now. I have met many many people and no matter how rich they are, no matter how many safaris they have gone on or how many triathlons they have been in, no matter how many awards, degrees, or accomplishments they have under their belt, when all is said and done, there is no satisfaction, no water for their parched spirit.

The answer to this deep dull ache in the depths of your being lies on the second path. On this path, there is lasting hope, peace, love and joy. There is true family, community and fellowship. When you start on this path, it may be rocky. It is not for the cowardly. It is challenging, yet rewarding, exhilarating and fulfilling. On this path, when you go to sleep, you feel clean inside, you can truly rest, you can know what it means to live in hope of tomorrow no matter how messed up the world around you becomes. You no longer will feel alone, neither when you are in a crowded room nor on a deserted island a hundred miles from others. No longer will your focus need to be impressing people. No, rather, your goal will be to walk more and more in the depths of this path of freedom. Not freedom like the world promises, which is a lie. Not the freedom to do every form of wickedness and feel like garbage at the end of the day. No, freedom, from the burdens, and guilt that lie within the depths of your soul. The truth is, no matter who we are, we have done things that we know are wrong, and no matter how many good things we do, it never seems to matter, the bad things are still with us like a weight on our back.

This is called condemnation. It is with us because we have done wrong. But this second path I am talking about is a path of righteousness. On this path you receive forgiveness of your sins and true freedom from the one thing you cannot run away from, the wickedness in your own heart. The second path starts at a gate, the name of the gate is Jesus Christ. If you enter into the path of righteousness it is only through Jesus Christ. If you want the freedom, peace, love and joy I have told you about, don't go to religion, don't go to your friends who don't have the answer, go to Jesus. Pray right now, “Jesus help me now, save me from myself, free me.” I tell you the truth. Jesus came to die for your sins so that you could experience true freedom. I am living proof that a broken man, in love with women and the things of this world, can truly be free from the burdens and sin that plagues the mind and the soul. I have true peace now, and I owe it all to Jesus. I don't promise you riches and the things that do not deliver what you need. I offer you salvation through Jesus Christ of Nazareth. May God grant you the wisdom to choose life while you still can.
