God Thinking XCVII - Crossroads 8

"Another way your enemy wins converts is to convince them that to make a decision to follow after God means turning to a religious zombie or that you have to become mindless and follow after a set of rules like a lemming.  Again, nothing could be further from the truth.

Another way your enemy wins converts is to convince them that to make a decision to follow after God, means losing their freedom. 

The enemy convinces the decision maker that: 
  • God is a tyrant
  • That if they choose God’s way they will loose their personal freedom
  •  That they will be trapped into living a life they don’t want
  •  That they will have to give up everything sacred to them
  •  That they will lose the intellectual edge
  • That to decide to follow after Christ makes you less of a person
  • That to make a decision that could better your health or your lifestyle in general, is just short-lived and that it is smarter, not to start something than to start and fail, and based upon past experience you will probably fail.
When at the place of a crossroad decision, the enemy has always and will always say the wrong thing to you.

When at the place of a crossroad decision, God has always and will always say the right thing to you. What voice are you yielding to?
