This is a blog for those who refuse to take what we are told about anything at face value. It is for those of you who are questioning what your friends and family believe. It is for you who are in need of encouragement. The name comes from Matthew 7:13 where he writes about the wide and straight/narrow gates/paths to eternity. I choose to look at this scripture as saying we shouldn't be too far in any direction on the spectrum, but should be somewhere in the middle ground.

Grace / Law
The “Grace/Law” picture at first glance conveys a message of Jesus the Christ’s grace being sufficient for all religions and beliefs. It also shows the law dying on the cross, which would remove the notion of sin in the world. This is very controversial in Christianity today and there is great criticism between the grace and law messages, as well as all of those in between. The letters of grace each represent a belief system; the beliefs being Evolution, Buddhism, Judaism, Islam, and Gender Equality respectively. The cross has the Ten Commandments nailed to each arm representing the law being fulfilled through Jesus’ death. The cross also reinforces this idea with the words, “The Law Fulfilled” engraved on it.
