How are we to disagree on secondary issues or when Scripture is silent?

February 25, 2024 • Steve Marshall • Romans 14

How do you make daily Christian decisions when Scripture does not clearly prohibit or urge a certain action or behavior? Ask these questions:

Does the Bible allow it?

If the Bible says don't do it: Don't do it.

If the Bible is silent: Ask the question does my conscience allow it?

If your conscience says No: Don't do it.

If your conscience allows it: Determine what is the effect on other Christians?

Determine what is the effect on non-Christians?

Determine what is the effect on my spiritual life?

Then move forward with confidence "fully convicted in your mind" that this is a godly decision or it is not (Rom. 14:5).
