The role of Scripture in decision making...

Here are some helpful reminders on making biblical decisions.

1. Studying Scripture deepens your consciousness of God.

2. Studying Scripture also brings us into contact with God.

3. Scripture informs us of God's principles.

4. Biblical passages may also confirm a particular decision.

5. The Bible can be an invaluable aid in praying for guidance (Ps 143:8, 10; 51:10-12; 5:8; 19:12-14; 25:4-5, 21; 27:11; 31:3-4; 86:11; 119:5, 10, 35-36, 80, 133, 176; 141:3-4).
