The Revelation of Jesus with Rick Sterling

Decisions, decisions~

Decision making can be difficult, especially when you have to choose between two good things. Do you want a Mecedes or a Land Rover? Do you want to eat Itallian or Thai cuisine for dinnner? Would you rather have a hug or a kiss?

Decisions are even more difficult when the choice is between doing a good thing, or nothing, especially when you might get hurt; such as attempting to intervene between two strangers fighting on a street corner, where a man is beating a woman-or do you walk away and say "It is not by business"?

Life is about choices, and how you make decisions. Parents train children to make decisions; teaching them to be kind to friends and strangers, not take things that don't belong to you, eat your Lima Beans even if you don't like them. But the most effective teaching of decision making is by example-the ideal of "Do as I say, and not what I do" is simply not effective when instructing a child in proper civil behavior.

This is true in life, especially when it comes to deciding about things eternal.  And Jesus answered and said to them, "See to it that no one misleads you". Matt. 24:4.

Here Jesus was instructing His disciples in the fact that making a decision about eternity based on a false narrative can kill them, and that it is up to them to DECIDE whether what they are seeing, hearing, and experiencing is based upon truth or lies. And in spiritual matters just as in everyday life there is no excuse for making a wrong decision. 

Many Christians believe that they will not be held accountable for making a bad decision about their salvation because Jesus loves them more that He loves the triuth. Oh sure, truth matters, but God will overlook their shortcomings in decision making because as long as they 'believe' they will be saved. Not true! Truth Matters!
