There Is a Way That Seems Right – Why Direction, Not Intention, Determines Your Destination
Most of us assume that if something feels right, it must be right. Scripture warns us otherwise.
This teaching centers on Proverbs 16:25: “There is a way that appears to be right, but in the end it leads to death.” It explores the sobering
truth that every path leads somewhere, and that small, daily decisions—often unnoticed—shape our spiritual destination over time.
Drawing from Proverbs, the teachings of Jesus, and insights from C.S. Lewis and others, this lesson introduces the Principle of the Path: direction—not intention—determines destination. Good intentions are not enough. What matters most is the direction your life is currently moving.
Key ideas include:
Why every
path, good or bad, leads somewhere
How gradual, almost invisible choices shape our character
Why the “I’m good enough” path is spiritually dangerous
The humility of saying, “I might be wrong; I often am”
Why teachability and correction are essential to spiritual life
How welcoming feedback is actually the way to life
