\u201cEnter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few.\u201d Jesus<\/p>\n

When the Bible uses the word \u201cwicked\u201d it\u2019s not just referring to serial killers or rapists. It\u2019s talking about those who walk away from the (will of God<\/strong><\/span>) and the (Word of God<\/strong><\/span>).<\/p>\n

The Bible defines wickedness as a (condition of the heart<\/strong><\/span>).<\/p>\n

The godly runs (towards<\/strong><\/span>) God\u2019s plan; the wicked runs (away<\/strong><\/span>).<\/p>\n

Proverbs 14:12- \u201cThere is a way which seems right to man, but the end is death.\u201d<\/p>\n
