Let's Go Back to the Bible

“He won’t mind!”

Isn’t it interesting how we sometimes speak for someone else, when they are not even present with us? We can be engaged in a conversation about taking a possible action, and the person we’re talking to might say something like, “I don’t think your dad/mom/spouse/friend/boss would want you to do that.” While that third party is not physically present, it is conjectured that he/she might object. But then, have you ever said in response, “Oh, I don’t think he’ll mind!”

How would you ever figure out if that third party would approve or disapprove of an action? You could conjecture all day long, but the only way to know for sure would be ask them yourself!

Too often, people want to take a particular action and they justify it in their mind by saying, “I don’t think God will mind.” How do you know? It might make you feel better to believe He wouldn’t mind, but do you know? The only way to know for sure is to go to His “answer book.” What does the Bible say about it? When you find that answer, you have God’s answer!
