Excellent, thank you.

Precisely my thoughts too.

345everything I struggle with this too. If I'm ever stressing about a neutral decision I try to take it back to Scripture. Scripture is likely to offer some sort of insight on the situation somehow. If you honestly cannot find anything in God's word to help you decide, and you're sure there's no sin involved, then I'd say make your decision and have faith that God will be with you regardless.

Some years ago I had a Galaxy 500 and this guy wanted to trade his hornet for my car. Even though I had negative feelings about the deal, I let him talk me into doing it. The results of the deal: He blew the engine in that Galaxy 500 within two weeks. The Hornet; was not as good a car as the one I traded for it. If you are having negative feelings about doing something such as that car trade I made, just say no and be done with it. Just be aware that you may find out later on that doing the thing, would have been better for you. This is the case if you are single and not married. If you are married, the decision will affect your wife, and she has a say in the matter. If she has the same negative feelings that you do, then you have your answer. If she doesn't, you may find that her intuition is a bit closer on point than yours. I have heard many stories where the man wanted to do a thing and his wife was totally against it. It turned out that she was right and he was wrong. This is likely where the sacrifice of a husband comes in. I've never been married so I can't speak authoritatively on that topic. What I can say authoritatively is: divorce does not happen because both partners are giving 100% of themselves to their spouse. Divorce happens because one or both partners are giving less than 100% of themselves to their spouse. Keep in mind that giving 100% of oneself to one's spouse is impossible to achieve. Rather, it is the striving of that 100% that does the job. Never listen to a person that claims to be giving 120%. If that person had given 100%, that person would not be alive to be telling that lie.

@@345everything i struggle as well, if i do without peace, i observed that i never succeed without peace

Hi Marioorodin, so 2 years later, what do you think of your college decision back when you wrote this comment? Was it the right one? God bless

Try these Voddie Baucham, 'Modern Spirituality and Your Mind' (sermon available on youtube) Garry Friesen, 'Decision Making and the Will of God' (book) Bruce Waltke, 'Finding the Will of God: A Pagan Notion?' (book)

What do you mean?

There is no such thing as an overactive conscience. If you are a believer, That is just God telling that what you just did was a sin. There are many things that aren't explicitly talked about as being sins but we all know are unhealthy. Pornography for example, I struggled for many years, no where in the Bible does it say it is a sin, but God through conscience convicted and condemned me of the sin of pornography. The Bible does talk a lot about keeping a clean conscience bc God knew that would be an all encompassing word to help us with our actions no matter the time in history.

Alfred Johnson thank you for recommending these materials . I’ll check them bc I desperately need some guidance in this issue

By "overactive conscious" do you mean Religious OCD or Scrupulosity?

m ferris if it leads to grudges, vengeance, violence, etc.
