When faced with a moral dilemma, how do you decide what to do? Option A...do you go with your feelings and hope they guide you correctly? Or option B...do you go with God’s plan...operating in relationship with Jesus? Let’s say you choose option A--your feelings. In doing so, you make the choice to go down a dangerous path of moral relativism and tolerance, therefore, no one is allowed to criticize or disagree with you. The trouble with basing truth on your feelings is that your feelings aren’t universal. You hear something that someone else feels or thinks and if it doesn’t align with what you feel or think – you’re suddenly offended! Rather than seeking a conversation to understand, you get angry, publicly rant, and boycott everything that you didn’t like! This proves that your feelings are flawed, easily swayed, and unreliable oftentimes creating confusion and frustration and resulting in harm to your relationships with others. So let’s say you choose option B--God’s plan. This is where you choose to operate in a relationship with Jesus because your only responsibilities are to hear God’s voice, respond, and obey! That’s it. By nature of design, a relationship with God is the source of morality, truth, and goodness. So as you choose to hear God in these things, your ability to hear his voice allows you to step out of the chaos and into the peace that only comes from a relationship with God. How will you choose to solve moral dilemmas?!?!
