As we look in the Scriptures, we find that the teaching of Jesus is our instruction for living the Christian life. It’s not a matter of becoming a Christian and just doing our own thing. The Lord Jesus Christ has standards and instructions for every area of our lives.
Every decision we make needs to be based squarely upon the Word of God.
Life is held together by a very intricate series of cause-and-effect relationships. You can’t obey the teachings of Christ without being blessed. You cannot disobey them without there being consequences. And in every area of life where we disobey or ignore the teachings of Christ there will be resulting conflicts and problems.
I’ve come to the conclusion that very few people actually want Biblical counsel. It’s very easy to help people who are desperate and are longing for a closer walk with God. It’s impossible to help people that merely want a resolution of their conflicts.
Parents want help with troubled youth but not enough to change their own wrong attitudes. People want help with their marriage but not enough to take responsibility for their own sin and say, “I was wrong. Will you please forgive me?”

So often we base our decisions and actions on feelings or preferences rather than on the rock solid teaching of God’s Word.
It doesn’t matter what you or I think, or even what our favorite author or radio preacher says – it matters what the Bible says. That’s all that matters. That means we need to be men and women of the Word and we need to live not according to opinions or preferences but we need to live by Biblical standards. We need to forgive even when we don’t feel like it. We need to be honest when it would be easier to lie or cheat.
Don’t allow the enemy to distract and fool you with his lies. Dedicate yourself afresh to the authority of God’s Word.
