Choose narrow

We got a lot of feedback and continue to do so on what "choose narrow" means and why we chose it. I wanted a tag line that would relay a few things- keep it applicable to the sport and line of clothing and more importantly- point people to the cross.
Choose narrow fits right into the sport aspect. What's better than a narrow ribbon of single track winding through the woods or desert. Or how about that narrow, hill-infested winding road that snakes lazily through the countryside? Let's not forget that little narrow hole-shot that is our main focus when that gun goes off. Being passionate about cycling, those are the paths that we long for- the difficult ones that drive us to a new level and fill our minds with visions of the next ride.
But far more important that the cycle aspect is the narrow path aspect found in scripture.
Our world is exceedingly drawn into the broad road of "acceptance" for all things that even 10-20 years ago would have been appalling to majority of the population. The media is constantly pushing music and video out there that has no place in a public forum, let alone on "family" networks. It's made even easier as those that participate and create it deam it the politically correct way to go. Who are any of us to tell others what to do? As long as it makes us happy... hogwash.
We are told multiple times in scripture (Matthew 7:13,14; Luke 13:24)

that we are not to go down that path, we are to choose the narrow, difficult road that leads to eternity, not destruction. That's the main reason we have that tag line.

So choose narrow, stand for truth and flee from the things of this world.
