Rules

Live for God. Obey the Scriptures. Think of others before yourself. Be holy. Love Jesus. As as you do these things, do whatever else you like, with whomever you like, wherever you like, and you'll be walking in the will of God.
Just Do Something ~ Kevin DeYoung

What a freeing statement that is. I think as Christians we tend to create such a tangled web. We create these rules and "have to's" for ourselves that God doesn't ask for or even want! We wait and wait for God to give us answers or direction on things He really doesn't care about. Do I care if my kids go to one university over the other? Nope - it won't affect much. Do I care that they have a heart for Christ? Yep - that affects everything. God feels the same way about us, His children. He cares about the big stuff, the other trivial stuff isn't that big of a deal.

God's concern is my heart. My concern is my heart.
