In Matthew 6, Jesus prayed, “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.”

A prayer that begins May I not view you as a distant father, but as one who has come to earth and understands the challenges and temptations of my life. Be near me today, whisper reminders that you’re close. My friends need you today as they make difficult decisions in their workplace and in their families. Show them you are closer than even their earthly fathers. Thank you for hearing me and listening to my pleas. It’s in Jesus’ name I pray this, amen.

Here’s my challenge for you: every day for four weeks, pray four minutes. Then get ready to connect with God like never before.

When my wife and I would drive somewhere, we didn’t lose any time when she drove. In fact, we set some records. Once we were on a trip and I was preparing for the meetings we were going to, she was driving down this four-lane, divided highway. I was looking down. All of a sudden, I looked up and I saw orange plastic cones on the middle line that divides the two lanes on our side. And as I looked, every vehicle but one was moving into the left lane, to the left of the cones. You notice I said everyone but one. Yeah, that was us. My wife continued in the right lane, and I said, “Honey, what are you doing? Looks like this lane is closing.” She said, “Just watch.” Well, we passed a line of cars on our left, with a big truck at the head of it. See, that truck had moved into the left lane, and all the other cars said, “Oh, that must be the lane to be in.” The problem was that the truck that they were following was taking equipment to a big tar truck parked in the left lane, so we waved as we zipped by all those cars as they were heading for an unpleasant surprise.

I'm Ron Hutchcraft, and I want to have A Word With You today about “Wrong About God.”

Now, our word for today from the Word of God. We're in Proverbs 14:12. It’s short, but it’s hard-hitting. “There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end, it leads to death.” The Bible's pretty clear here. A lot of people are on a road that looks good, but it’s going nowhere. Jesus talked about that in Matthew 7:13-14, when He said, “Enter through the narrow gate, for wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it; but small is the gate and narrow is the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.”

See, a lot of people are wrong about the one thing you can’t afford to be wrong about—God, and how to get to Him. If you’re wrong about God, it’s fatal forever. Maybe you’re someone who might be on a sincere road that seems very right, but that ends far away from God forever instead of with Him forever.

Only God can tell us how to get to Him, and He does in John 14:6. Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth and the life. No man comes to the Father except through Me.” In 1 John 5:11-12 it says, “There is life in God’s Son, and he that has the Son has life. He that does not have the Son of God does not have life.”

So, question: Do you have the Son of God in your heart? This bothers a lot of people that Jesus is the only way. You say, “Well, I believe in tolerance. As long as we’re sincere.” Well, if you’re trapped in a burning building, and a firefighter risks his life to bring you out, I don’t think you say, “Hey, wait, there’s only one way out of here? Are you kidding?” No, you grab that rescuer and you say, “Thank God there's a way.”

Well, thank God there is one way. There wasn’t any way until one Savior came and paid the price for our sin. Sin has a death penalty. The Bible says, “The wages of sin is death.” Someone's got to die for my sin to be paid for. No good works, no matter what faith they’re from, can pay that death penalty. Romans 5:8 says, “God proved His love for us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”

If you haven’t pinned all your hopes on Jesus to be your Rescuer, you’re still on the road that leads to death. That’s why everything, now and forever, depends on what you do with God’s Son, Jesus. This could be the day when you make this Jesus your Rescuer from your sin if you would just tell Him, “Jesus, I get it. You died on that cross for me. I’m Yours.”

Wisconsin’s newest abortion facility, the “Care for All Clinic” is showing a glimpse into their twisted heart. 

After holding a contest earlier this year where supporters could donate money in hopes of naming their aspirator, the device used to kill children, they are now celebrating 500 abortions. 

Despite the facilities name, they do not provide care for all. If they did, they would not have posted on social media celebrating this so-called achievement. They would have cared for the 500 innocent children whose lives they took.  

The abortion industry is a callus, money making machine. They do not care about women or their babies. They care about collecting more blood money.
