LOVE WORTH FINDING 27TH FEBRUARY 2025 THURSDAY DEVOTIONAL MESSAGE BY ADRIAN ROGERS
TOPIC: A Nice Car on the Wrong Road
“Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith.” – Philippians 3:8-9
Ponder This
This passage is confusing to many of us. We ask “How could Paul put striving to keep the Ten Commandments and being religious on the negative side? It may not get him to Heaven, but at least those are good things.” But Paul said, “No. I count all these things but loss.” Why? Because those were the things he trusted in that kept him from the Lord.

Once, I had an engagement in South Florida. I rented a car, and it was nicer than I expected, so I was happy to have it. It was one of those beautiful Florida days, so I turned on the stereo, and I found the most gorgeous music. The road I was on was incredible too, very little traffic. After I had driven about two hours, I said, “I should be there already. This doesn’t look familiar.
Something is wrong.” And then it dawned on me. I was going the wrong way. I was on the wrong road. The good car and the music and all these things that might be good were bad, because they distracted me, and I went in the wrong direction. That’s what religion is without the Lord. The worst form of badness is human goodness, if human goodness keeps you from salvation.
