- Am I doing this for God’s glory, or for me?
- Am I rushing mindlessly (impetuous) or willing to wait?
- Can’t rush into a closed door
- Can I find support (defense) from God’s word (Bible)
- Faith grounded in the Bible
- Do I find joy & peace as this move (decision) is being made?
Believers must never, of course, compromise doctrines or principles that are clearly biblical. But to humbly defer to one another on secondary issues is a mark of spiritual strength, not weakness. It is a mark of maturity and love that God highly honors, because it promotes and preserves harmony in His church.
John MacArthur
