Human intellect can be a destructive force if not kept in check by truth, by that innate sense of RIGHT AND WRONG, in other words, ETHICS, all based on TRUTH, THE TRUTH

· If you’re watching TV, or reading a book, or visiting an internet site… and you’d turn red if Jesus walked in on you… wrong path.

· If you’re engaged in a business deal, and you wouldn’t want Jesus looking at the books… wrong path.

· If you’re talking about your husband/ friend/ neighbor and you’re talking about them with words and attitudes you would never use of Jesus… wrong path.

Jesus is the path! And Jesus is the gate!

So, how do we safeguard against walking in the way that SEEMS right unto us?

FIRST SAFEGUARD

When we have come to know Jesus as Lord and Savior, we are promised the Holy Spirit.

The SECOND safe-guard that we are given within God’s Word, which helps us to understand that we are NOT going to lean on OUR OWN understanding and what SEEMS right to us is found in 1 Cor. 3:18-20

God is the author of Wisdom.

The LAST SAFEGUARD when we are trying to avoid following the way that SEEMS right to man is we need to remember that we are to live according to the Spirit and not the flesh.
