Using the Bible to Make Decisions


By Dr. David Webster

If you want better insight and discernment... learn the importance of reverence for the Lord and of trusting Him. He shows how to distinguish right from wrong, how to find the right decision every time.
- Proverbs 2:3-5 (LB)

Six Ways To Test a Decision

The Ideal Test:

1.       Is it in harmony with God's Word?

Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.
- Psalm 119:105(NRSV)

The Integrity Test:

2.       would I want everyone to know this decision?

Knowing what is right to do and then not doing it is a sin.
- James
4:17 (LB)

There is nothing hidden that will not be made public.
- Mark
4:22 (CEV)

The Independence Test:

3.       Could it become addicting to me?

All things are lawful to me, but I will not be dominated by anything.
- 1 Corinthians 6:12b (NRSV)

The Influence Test:

4.       Will it harm other people?

Each of us will give an account of himself to God... Try to live in such a way that you will never make your brother stumble by letting him see you doing something he thinks is wrong.
- Romans 14:12-13 (LB)

The Improvement Test:

5.       Will it make me a better person?

You say, "I am allowed to do anything" -- but not everything is helpful. ...--but not everything is beneficial.
- 1 Corinthians
10:23 (NLT)

The Investment Test:

6.       Is it the best use of my life?

So be very careful how you live. don't live like those who are not wise, but live wisely. use every chance you have for doing good, because these are evil time. So do not be foolish but learn what the Lord wants you to do.
- Ephesians 5:15-17 (NCV)


-at times we do things on our own, we tend to forget how important to ask God first for guidance for all the things that we will do. we must not forget that He knows everything and anything. thus we have the confidence that His guidance and answers for our prayers will always be the best for us...i know God's plan for my life will be better than what i am thinking right now.

d man nya ibigay ang mga gusto ko, ang mga bagay na matagal ko nang hinihingi sa kanya...naniniwala ako na ito pa rin ang best for me. His guidance is enough and sufficient for me! hehehe! masaya at masarap ma-in-love kay Lord!

Secret Motives!!!

First love
 

"One thing I ask of the Lord, this I seek; to dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life that I may gaze on the loveliness of the Lord, and contemplate His temple."

- - Psalm 27:4

David was a man of passion. As a youth, his passion for service inspired him to take on the burden of a nation and win over a giant. As king, his passion for Israel led him to victories on the battlefield and conquests that brought him fame and renown. As a God-chaser, his passion for the Lord enabled his soul to churn out a legacy of psalms.

David was a man of passion...but also of pleasure. Little did he know that one day, his unguarded passion would strike him in his time of great weakness. Said the great spiritual writer Oswald Chambers, "Unguarded strength is double weakness." And we all know what happened the day David's passion went astray when his eyes spied Bathsheba from the palace rooftop.

We can be passionate about romance and going steady. But sometimes our passion for this "thing called dating" can leave us confused and at times, heartbroken. I know, I've been there. And I've learned that I can spare myself of the problems and "God-quenchers" that romantic relationships often come with. It all started when I told God, "You will be my First Love."

When I decided to seriously serve God in the ministry, I knew I had to set my priorities straight. I knew that He needed to be my priority. And I knew that a relationship on the side would dampen my eagerness for God and only distract me from giving Him every aspect of my life to use for service. How could I say, "Hey, Lord I'm available," when there was somebody else sitting on the throne of my heart? I needed to decide immediately that if God was going to be my priority in my youth, I had to lay aside every weight that might threaten God's position in my life as First Love.

I gave up my girlfriend. Outside, I seemed fine. Inside, I knew there was a battle between my spirit and what my flesh wanted. Who wouldn't want to feel the closeness of an embrace or the sweetness of a kiss? It was HARD. Renouncing my right to have a romantic relationship was like giving up an Isaac. But then this gave me material for sacrifice. I asked the Lord to divert my passion for romance to a passion for Him.

I found that to be the best prayer I ever said. Since then, the Lord has not ceased in prospering my ministry. And because I turned my heart over to Him alone and not to just any girl, I found that I was complete and secure in Him. In His presence was the most intimate embrace I ever experienced, in His provision was the most lavish display of gifts I ever saw. I became involved with spending my youth for him that I realized I didn't need romance just now. I had love in its fullest sense.

I'm 20 now. I know my future is secure in God's plan, so I'm leaving everything - including romance - to His will. I know I'll never have to worry about where He'll lead me, whether it will be marriage or single blessedness. However, I know that I'm complete in Him, no matter where life takes me. It's true that when you put God first, He adds everything unto you.

So until my future is revealed, I'm exclusively Christ's. And who wouldn't fall for Someone like Him?

"Do not arouse, do not stir up love before its own time."

- Song of Songs 2:7

 

 -from a daily devotion site!Just want to share what i think of my situation right now...God bless!

When God Says No!

When God Says NO

 

 

Whoever comes to me will never be hungry,

and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.

John 6:35

 

 

            There are times when the one thing you want is the one thing you never get…

            You pray and wait.

            No answer.

            You pray and wait.

            May I ask a very important question? What if God says no?

            What if the request is delayed or even denied? When God says no to you, how will you respond? If God says, “I’ve given you my grace, and that is enough,” will you be contented?

            Content: that’s the word. A state of heart in which you would be at peace if God gave you nothing more than He already has.

 

            Most of the times I am guilty of these things, never had the feeling of contentment even if it was God who said NO. I found a very important lesson, at times we thought that it is only ourselves that we hurt when we don’t listen to God’s answers, but in my experience… I kept on trying to make God change His decision for the one person I loved the most but only to find out that I’ve hurt her more than anyone involved and more than myself’ve. I just realized this things when I she told me…”ed hahihirapan na ako” and that’s it! Ayaw ko nang saktan pa siya…pinahihirapan ko na siya. di ko kaya yun. Just have to let her go.

            I know God has perfect plan for the both of us. I’ll just have to wait for it.

gusto kita

Gusto Kita

 

Gusto kitang makita,

Gusto kitang makasama.

Gusto kong hawakan ang iyong mga kamay.

Gusto kong mayakap ka,

Gusto kong mahagkan ka,

Pero ang makita ka lang ay ayos na.

Wala akong magawa,

Alam kong malabo na.

Sa ngayon, ako naman ay masaya.

Ang makita kang masaya ay ayos na.

Siguro ganito talaga,

Ang maisip ka tuwi-tuwina.

Hindi ko alam kung anong problema,

Marahil ganito talaga.

Gusto ko lang malaman mo na

________, gusto kita.

letter to my GB!

This letter is for my future GB…I have written this letter in true love waits seminar.



To my dearest love and my GB(God’s best),

            Many times in my life I have searched for you, many times in my life I thought I lost you. At times, I thought I had you, but I was wrong.

            I keep on asking God…

            What is your look? What is your name? How will I meet you? Where will I meet you? When will I meet you?

            I have set my standards…

            You should have a white complexion. You should be as beautiful as an angel should. You should be at least 5 feet. Your age must fall between my age minus 1 and my age plus 5. You should be sweet, caring and a very loving person. You should have a long hair. You should not be a very rich person! And the most important of all, you must be a certified Christian!

Even though you don’t have all these qualities that I have written, I know God has His own standards for my GB and those standards what matter most. Even though I haven’t met you yet (I think), I am very happy for I know that God has preserved you for me. I know God is taking care of you right now and molding you to be the right person for me. As of now, I will seek God first and enjoy His blessings and gifts for me as a single so when the time comes, I will be a partner worthy for the greatest, most beautiful and one of the most precious gift that God will give me…YOU!

            As of the moment, let us enjoy life with God and wait for the time that God set for us. I know God will guide us and lead us to one another someday.

            See you soon! üüü

            I love you and promise to love you more with the help of our Lord! Thanks for the wait! I miss you so much! Mwah!

Love,

Eduard_Gwapo

testimony ko s church about fellowship

Many of you know me as eduard_gwapo, and from that name, you know that I have many “girl friends” but I never really had one. Sounds somewhat funny because with that name I can be a playboy, but the truth is that I am still available…hehehe!

            That was just a jump-off point for my short testimony about fellowship or should I say an advertisement for singles like me.

            It’s about this group of girls. They are all taking up business administration in UP and only two of those girls are very close to me. Here is the funny part of my testimony… every time that I am with them and every time that I talk with them may it be on the phone or face to face in UP they always smile or should I say laugh. Maybe there is something funny with my breath, maybe there is something funny with the way I speak, or maybe just maybe it is my looks! I think they have a crush on me…hehehe!

            But whatever their reasons are, they always tell me that there is something in me that never fail to make them smile. I know deep inside of me that this “thing” that make them smile is the very same “thing” that gave me the chance to have fellowship with many other people specially here in our church. And I am very happy and blessed to have this “thing”.

            Every day, before I step out of our gate and face a brand new day for me, there is one prayer that I always ask God, can you guess it? Maybe many of you guys will say that I am praying for my GB (God’s best), of course we are all praying for it! But my prayer is that all the people that I will meet that day will see Jesus Christ in me. And as days passed by, I keep on thinking that it was God’s sense of humor that they see in me. And I am very blessed to have it.

            I know I have had so many enemies in the past and it’s hard for me to make friends, because before I don’t have God in my life. Now that I have fellowship with Him, He gave me a gift that makes people smile. One of my friends send a message to me saying that I will always be one of the reasons why she will keep on believing that God is good. God gave us the chance to have fellowship with one another, for me it is one of His ways to see His goodness from other people at times we can’t see it in our lives. I am so happy and blessed that God used me as an instrument and as a tunnel of blessing for other people through my fellowship with them.

            I hope this short testimony will give you an idea how important is fellowship for each and everyone of us. And of course, the idea that it brings so much joy to be used by God as an instrument of His blessing. Thank you. God bless you all.

Faith

Faith is not the belief that God will do what i want.
Faith is the belief that God will do what is right.
And i know God wants me to let her go.
I love her, and I dont want to be a burden for her.
I just want her to be happy right now.
I will now let her go.
I know one day, God will give me my GB(God's Best)
who knows? it might still be Debbie!
I love you Debbie...Lord thank YOU!ü

Ayaw ko Naman…

 

 

Simula nakilala kita napansin ko na ika’y kakaiba.

Pero anong magagawa ko, ganyan ka talaga.

Ayaw ko naman na ika’y may gustong iba.

Pero ayaw ko naman na di ka masaya.

Ayaw ko naman na lagi kang nagagalit.

Lalo na kapag ika’y aking pinipilit.

Ayaw ko naman na ika’y aking saktan.

Lalo na kapag ika’y nahihirapan.

Ayaw ko naman talaga na sa iyo.

Lalo na sa ugali mo pag ika’y nagtatampo.

Ayaw ko naman na magbago.

Lalo na sa mga bagay na ayaw ko.

Pero ang lahat ng ayaw ko sa iyo,

Natutunan ko nang maging paborito.

Hindi ko alam kung bakit nagkaganito.

Ngayon lang ako nakaramdam nito.

Pag dating sa iyo, lahat magagawa ko.

Pag dating sa iyo, lahat naging gusto ko.

Debbie, minahal na nga kita,

Nang higit pa sa aking mga nakita.

Ngunit may isang problema,

Ika’y mayroon ng iba.

Problema nga ito.

Ako tuloy gulong-gulo.

Ayaw ko naman na ika’y iwan.

Pero ito ang kailangan.

Masakit at ayaw ko man,

Pero ito ang iyong kaligayahan.
