Often the Christian may be accused of being narrow-minded because he insists that we MUST completely obey Christ. Yet, all of life is narrow.

There is no room for broad-mindedness in the chemical laboratory. Water is composed of two parts hydrogen and one part oxygen. Deviation is forbidden. There is no room for broad-mindedness in music. There are only eight notes in an octave. In the mathematics classroom, things are narrow. Geometry, calculus, nor trigonometry allows zero variation from accuracy. The solution to the problem is either right or it is wrong. On the athletic field the game must be played by the rules.

How then, should we expect that broadmindedness should rule in the realm of Christianity and morals?

Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me” (John 14:6). Sounds pretty narrow, doesn’t it?
