To the Fence-sitter
2 Samuel 3:17-18 “And Abner conferred with the elders of Israel, saying, ‘For some time past you have been seeking David as king over you.

Divine Guidance
Psalm 32:8-9 “I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you. Be not like a horse or a mule, without understanding, which must be curbed with bit and bridle, or it will not stay near you.” Life is full of decisions. Some are pretty inconsequential,…

Doing What Seems Good
1 Samuel 14:40 “And the people said to Saul, ‘Do what seems good to you.’” I’m sure you’re familiar with the saying, “Do your own thing.” Another way people put this is “Whatever turns you on!” They’re popular sayings, but can be foolish ones, as so many who have followed this path in life can…

Doing the right thing
Psalm 119:121 “I have done what is just and right. . .” How many decisions do you make each day? It seems that all of life is a series of them. It starts when we rise in the morning, for our first decision is when to get up. But then each action from that point…

Which way?
John 10:10 “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.” Have you ever thought about life as a path that we’re all on? John Bunyan wrote a book about it called “Pilgrim’s Progress” which I’m told has sold more copies than any other…
