Decision Making: 3 Steps for Making Good, Christian Choices

We are shaped by our decisions. Some have life-or-death consequences, while others are less important. How can Christians make better decisions?

Decisions come in all shapes and sizes.

• Every day we face decisions about what to eat, whether to exercise, how to use our time. Over the years these regular decisions generally become habits, and we don’t think much about them. If we have guided these small decisions well from the start, we don’t really have to worry about them.
• When we haven’t made good choices, however, even these seemingly small decisions can blossom into serious bad habits like procrastination or an unhealthy lifestyle.
• We also fairly regularly run into larger decisions that may have even bigger immediate and long-term consequences. What will we study? Where will we live? Who will we marry? What church will we go to?
