READ:  Proverbs 14:7-16

                        SINCERELY WRONG!

                There is a way  that  seems  right
            to a man, but its end is the way of death.

                       - Proverbs 14:12


An anesthesiologist was administering a  controlled  mixture
of oxygen and gas to a patient in a New York hospital.  When
one of the tanks was empty, the doctor began using a new one
clearly  marked  "Oxygen."  Almost  immediately  the patient
died.

The coroner's autopsy  revealed  carbon  dioxide  poisoning.
Upon  investigation,  the  second  tank was found to contain
pure carbon dioxide and had been mislabeled.

The manufacturer denied any wrongdoing.   No  one  knew  how
this tragic mistake could have gotten by the inspectors.

Fortunately, such errors are rare.   But  in  the  spiritual
realm  they  occur  all the time.  Regarding salvation, many
people will say, "As long as I'm sincere, I'll come out  all
right  in  the end."  They believe they can get to heaven by
their good words; but no matter how right it may seem,  it's
"the  way  of  death"  (Prov. 14:12).  Jesus said, "I am the
way, the truth, and the life.  No one comes  to  the  Father
except through Me" (John 14:6).

Don't make the mistake of being sincere but sincerely wrong!
Acxknowledge  your sin and guilt before God and ask Jesus to
save you today.


Author:  Henry G. Bosch

 No other name can save me,
 No other name beside,
 But  Jesus Christ the risen Lord,
 The One they crucified.   - Brandt


THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
---------------------
Christ is the way to heaven - -
  all other ways lead to doom.
