Some More Principles
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>
|
||
The priority of God’s will involves relationship, not program
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
The priority of God’s will involves being, not doing
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
The will of God concerning character is universal –

||
<a id="si_11" onclick="return mV('Rom',8,'28-31');">Rom 8:28-31</a>;
|
||
<a id="si_12" onclick="return mV('Gal',5,22,23);">Gal 5:22-23</a>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
The will of God concerning service is individual
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
Discovering the will of God is primarily a matter of acceptance and not guidance
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
God does not usually unfold the details of our future, but does lead day by day
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
We should act on what we already know to be right
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
We must live with expectancy toward God
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
We should be willing to obey whatever
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
We should not see conditions
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
We must not avoid the responsibility of making decisions
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
We have great freedom
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
We must use our common sense
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
We should not keep looking for subjective confirmation
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
Don’t be overly suspicious about your desires
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
Don’t think that right decisions bring exemption from problems
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
Trust God’s over-all sovereignty to overlook all our wrongs
