Making decision is difficult, making good decisions is even more difficult.

What then are the facts? God is eternal. The soul of man is eternal and the word of God will last.

What then shall we pursue? Jesus. The world of material wealth and treasure will fade away. The achievement, status will not end our worries and anxieties. Because the more plan we only show how much we depends on our strength to secure our future. But our strength will fade and our security is no promises. true happiness comes from an assurance in Christ.

Jesus said on the sermon on the mount suggest we have to make a decision - the narrow path or the wide road. We like to do what we please and make follow Jesus at our convenient. It is that we like Jesus but we are not like Jesus. Many will reject Jesus and the "demand" of Christ for our lives.

Enjoy the narrow path with Jesus - a discipline life like Christ and in Christ - prayer, reading, worship and devotion and time alone with God.

The result should be the fruit - more like Christ. Jesus should be part of our lives and not when we need Him or when we have need. Our lives should showcase Christ and we speak of Christ from the inside out. A live that speaks about an encounter in Christ.

Storms and bad time expose the truth - in good times and in bad, that reveal a true follow of Christ. Not the amount of works nor the words you preach, but who is Christ in our lives - choose as Jesus does not promise a all good lives if we are to follow Him. But an assured eternal live with Him.

What is this rock - Jesus that we has to build our house upon. Build on money and wealth and the market may clash. Build on status and the applause may stop.

Not only the outward works, but also the inward self.

The sermon on the mount is about what Jesus has done. One one can do righteousness more than the scribes and pharisees. It is a believe in Jesus. A more obedient in Christ and just to be with Jesus day by day.
