This two-part article exposes the vanity of following the highway of life which may lead to worldly riches and comfort, but which will leave one empty, cold and alone in the end, and without any hope of real Salvation.
My friends, I am sure that many of you can understand that I keep very busy here with the Bill’s Bible Basics ministry. In fact, as I have mentioned before, I am literally years behind in my work, and in the things which I hope to accomplish for the Lord in the time that I have left on this Earth. God knows when my time will be up.
Aside from writing new articles and series, or updating older ones, creating new graphics, or updating older ones, compiling new KJV Bible Verse Lists, and composing new poetry, I also have to contend with what can be very annoying, frustrating and time-consuming web server issues.
Such was the recent case where I had to start my web server from scratch, due to a technical issue which I was unable to resolve. As a result of this problem, I lost four years worth of posts from the BBB Blog. In fact, this was the second time that this has happened since I first began the blog many years ago. While I have the backup resources to replace just about everything that was lost, it takes me many, many months to repost the over 5,000 entries which were on the blog prior to losing everything.
So, the way that you personally can help me, is by taking some personal initiative yourself, whenever you have questions about the Bible and our Christian beliefs. Trust me when I say that after writing now for over a quarter of a century, I have probably already addressed a lot of the same issues which you personally think about and question. All you have to do is dig into my work, and use the Bill’s Bible Basics Search Engine, to mine the gold. Can you do that for me? It will really help me a lot, and you as well.

“Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.” Matthew 7:13-14, KJV
“Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able. When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are: Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets. But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.” Luke 13:24-27, KJV
“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers. This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them. Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.” John 10:1-9, KJV
“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” John 14:6, KJV
“Withal praying also for us, that God would open unto us a door of utterance, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds: Colossians 4:3, KJV
“I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name . . . Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.” Revelation 3:8, 20 KJV
“And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.” Isaiah 30:21, KJV
