Bible Question: With all the advancements in technology and all the diversity that exist in the world today I have a difficult time deciding what is acceptable in my walk with Christ. I realize there are many Biblical principles that can be applied to present day life to help me decide. I use this as much as I can. I pray asking guidance. I sometimes say "when in doubt, do without". Where do we draw the line on being in the world but not being of the world? Perhaps there are some fellow Christians that have a formula or outline that helps bring about a decision. |
Bible Answer: brazo, I perceive by your words a great desire for truth and a life dedicated to our Lord. Bless you! I see that by the length of time this question has been up for answering you have struck a nerve in most of the forum. Indeed, where is that line that keeps us on the right path? It would be nice to have this formula but since we are all individuals one formula may not work for everybody. As I sit here I too have trouble finding words to comfort you. Although my heart desires to do my very best. And not being in your presence I can not give you a brotherly huge, but hopefully the words you read are of some comfort to you. I offer the words of our Savior: Mat 22:37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. Mat 22:38 This is the first and great commandment. Mat 22:39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Mat 22:40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. And I would specifically pray for wisdom to discern some of the paths that you face. The Lord God will not withhold it from you. Some verses on wisdom: (KJV) (2Co 1:12) For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward. (Eph 1:8) Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence; (Eph 1:17) That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: (Eph 3:10) To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God, (Col 1:9) For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; (Col 1:28) Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus: (Col 2:3) In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. (Col 2:23) Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh. (Col 3:16) Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. (Col 4:5) Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time. (Jam 1:5) If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. (Jam 3:13) Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom. (Jam 3:17) But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. (2Pe 3:15) And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; Read also Proverbs chapter 8. brazos, I do hope that these passages give you comfort. I think it is time for my closet, thank you for asking this question. terrib |
