Making Good Time On The Wrong Road
April 16, 2017
One day I had a meeting in South Florida. When I arrived, I rented a car and I was surprised to find that they gave me a really nice one. I turned on the radio and found the most gorgeous music. I began driving down the road and discovered very little traffic. The sun was shining, the road was good, the car was beautiful, and the music was glorious. I was so happy.
After I had driven about two hours, I began thinking that I should have arrived at my destination. All of a sudden it dawned on me—I was driving the wrong way! I was making good time on the wrong road.
That is what religion is without the Lord. The worst form of badness is human goodness, if human goodness keeps you from salvation.

Front Porch Moments by Gayle Foster
WITH KEY INSIGHTS FROM HER FATHER, ADRIAN ROGERS
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
