Living your Life According to God’s Timetable
Timetables and schedules are something we are all familiar with. They are designed to help regulate our time and routine. Following a timetable or schedule is a very important part of life as it keeps us focused and intentional in our actions. As important and helpful they are; timetables and…
What is the Will of God? Principle 8: Submission
After we follow all the principles we are to submit ourselves to God’s Providence. Even though God grants us great liberty in making any decision we want (as long as it conforms to His Word), we need to recognise that sometimes our decisions are not actually God’s will. What must we do…
What is the Will of God? Principle 7: Satisfaction
After you have carefully followed the previous six principles (Salvation, Scripture, Service, Supplication, Seeking Wise Counsel, Sound Judgment), what is next? I believe that if the six principles previously mentioned are followed, then we can ask ourselves the question, “what is my…
What is the Will of God? Principle 6: Sound Judgment

This verse places the will of God into two categories…
Decisions, Guidance and the Will of God
Decisions, guidance and the will of God. Wow, that is a loaded topic! Yet it is something that we as God’s people know to be very important. When it comes to a discussion on the topic of decisions, guidance and the will of God there is sadly much confusion.
