So you really want to do something but you think it goes against what the Bible says. Will you do it anyway?
Key Points:
- Be careful who you listen to. (Proverbs 13:20.)
- Try to be brutally honest with yourself about this situation. (Psalm 139:23-24.)
- Be ready to take ownership if the situation turns sideways. (Galatians 6:7-8.)
Quote This:
Galatians 6:7-8 Don’t be misled—you cannot mock the justice of God. You will always harvest what you plant. Those who live only to satisfy their own sinful nature will harvest decay and death from that sinful nature. But those who live to please the Spirit will harvest everlasting life from the Spirit.
