Biblical Decision Making

For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. (2 Corinthians 10:3-5)
 
Many Christians dichotomize their spiritual life from their secular life. They do their job. They live in the world with their friends and with a secular culture. Separately, there is another part of them where they do church, but the two worlds never meet.  
 
When they are with church people, they speak the vernacular of church. They have learned it; they know the biblical phrases, and they know how to navigate the church. However, on Monday, the Bible never enters into their thinking. It never really enters into their world of living. 
 
We must be so careful not to fall into this pattern of behavior where we separate our spiritual life from the other parts of our life. Instead, our spiritual life should infiltrate every other area of our life without exception. When this happens, our worldview, our interactions, and our decision making are all impacted for the better because they are rooted in the truth of God’s Word.  
 
Many people just make their decisions based upon what they feel. If they feel it’s right, they do it. Or, if their friends feel like it's okay, they do it. If you are making your decisions that aren’t rooted in the truth of God’s Word, you should be different. You should make decisions because you want to honor your Heavenly Father and obey His will for your life.  
 
Don’t be one of those people who is led by their feelings or led by the secular world around them. Instead, hold every decision you make up to Scripture, and seek to make wise, God-honoring decisions every chance you get.
