Very often in the practice of religion people make a decision to do something because what they "Think" seems more right to them than what God's word actually says. What warning do you hear for our life in Proverbs 14:12? "There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death." 2.) For an excellent exaple of this problem, read 1 Samual 15:1-23. Where the Lord Rejects Saul as King." v.23 "For rebellion is like the sin of divination, and arrogance like th evil of idolatry. Because yu have rejected the word of the Lord, he has rejected you as king." Some Qs for you... Why were Sauls actions judged to be wrong? 2.) What was his justification for what he had done? 3.) Why was God not "won over" by his argument? and finally, In view of Saul's problem, what attitude do you want to have toward God's word?
