Informed Decisions.

It’s human nature to want information with as much facts as possible before making decisions, so you can know what to expect before determining your course of action. For instance, before accepting a job, you want to know how much you’ll be paid, what the work environment is like, and if you like the people you’d be working with. Before purchasing a house, you pay for an inspection so you can know before you purchase just what repairs might be needed and how much they would cost - which allows you to make an informed decision before signing on the dotted line. Knowing the facts and being informed is not only prudent, but wise. It’s no different when it comes to spiritual things. God wants you to “know” what you believe by studying His Holy Word! It’s dangerous to blindly accept what others say about the Scriptures, and that includes your pastor! The Bible says in 2 Timothy 3:16-17, “All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work.” God wants you to receive spiritual truth from your pastor, but He also wants you to search the Scriptures yourself - not just taking what is said as the “gospel truth.” He wants you to come to Him and allow Him to speak to your heart. James 1:5 says, “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.” Ask God for wisdom, guidance, and understanding before reading His Holy Word so you can start today making . . . informed decisions!
