DECISIONS-3

I have been blogging about how to make right decisions in life! Life would be so much better if we just made right decisions on a daily basis. (Look at the consequences of one man's decision at Fort Hood Army Base.) 13 people killed and many others wounded, and countless families and friends lives that have been changed forever because of the decisions of one man.

How do we make right decisions:
1. Spiritual Considerations - How will this decision affect my relationship with God!

2. Internal Considerations - How will this decision affect who I am and what I am becoming?

3. Today I want to look at the RELATIONAL CONSIDERATIONS - How will this decision affect my relationship with family, friends and other people?

First - Would I want this done to me? If I make this decision how will it affect the people in my life? Would I want someone else to do this to me?

Romans 13: 8-10 - "Owe no man any thing, but to love one another...Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself...Love works no ill to his neighbor, therefore love is the fulfilling of the law."

Secondly, If I make this decision could it look as it is wrong even when it is really OK? Will it look wrong?

1 Thessalonians 5:22 - "Abstain from all appearances of evil."

Thirdly, Will this cause someone else to struggle spiritually?

Romans 14: 13, 21 - "Let us not therefore judge one another any more; but judge this rather, that no man put a stumbling block or an occasion to fall in his brother's way...It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor anything whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak."

My prayer is that I will make the right decisions today and every day in my life, based upon the Word of God!

Let's get started by making the right decisions today!
