The Way and the End
The Christian Treasury
Proverbs 14:12
There is a way which seems right to a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.


We are all travellers. Our journey occupies our lifetime. Its end depends upon the way we take. The endings are but two. Yet many go heedlessly on. They love the way, and they are pleased to think well of it.

1. It is the way in which they were born.

2. They see many walking in this way.

3. It is a way which is most pleasing to them.

4. It is an easy way to walk in.

5. It is a way which is profitable to self.How shall we know this way of death? It is the way of sin. It is the course of this world. It is the way of indifference to the things of eternity.

(The Christian Treasury.)
