Are You Worshiping the Idol of 'Open Options'?

By Barry Cooper 

“The living God … did not create us to keep our options open. He didn't create us to live in fear of making a choice. … God created us to commit. To him, and to others. He created us to choose. It's right to be careful in our decision making, of course: to pray, to seek counsel from Scripture and from wise Christians. The bigger the decision, the more careful we should be. But there comes a point when pausing becomes procrastination, when waiting is no longer wise. There comes a point when not to choose … becomes a lack of trust in … God.”
