Matthew 7:13-14. 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.
Do not try to go with the majority; truth is usually with the minority. Do not count heads, and say, "I am for that which has the most on its side;" but prefer that which is least liked among men, choose that which is most difficult, most trying to flesh and blood, that which gives you least license, because "strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it." You will not hit upon it, then, in a "happy-go-lucky" sort of style. Heaven’s gate is not found open by accident; there never was anybody yet who was saved by accident. No: "few there be that find it," is still true. God grant that we may be among the few! And why should we not be?
