"You Can’t Find Heaven without the Compass" by Doug Fincher

“I am the Way, the truth and the life…..”

August 15, 2022 - While pastor of the First Baptist Church in Mauriceville, Texas, I made a late evening hunt off the Lemonville Road. I became so engrossed with the hunt that that I wound up trying to find my way back after dark. Three hours of wading through rice laterals and briar patches brought me to Homer Bishop’s house on Highway 96 who drove me home.

On the following Sunday as I was about to preach, Deacon Joe Daily presented me with a brand new wrist compass and showed me how to use it. From that day, I took it with me on every hunt and it never failed to get me home.

Mankind is hopelessly lost in the darkness of sin and all his efforts cannot take him home. So God gave man The Compass, the Lord Jesus Christ.

Man can find a lot of things without The Compass. But he’ll never find a home in heaven…

… without Him.
