Beginning the New Year, Right or Wrong


RIGHT OR WRONG

Trying to decide whether to do something or not?  Here are eleven tests to help you decide if it’s right or wrong:

THE PERSONAL TEST:  Will doing it make me a better or worse Christian?

THE SOCIAL TEST:  Will doing it influence others to be better or worse Christians?

THE PRACTICAL TEST:  Will doing it likely bring desirable or undesirable results?

THE UNIVERSAL TEST:  Suppose everyone did it?

THE SCRIPTURAL TEST:  Is it expressly forbidden in the Word of God?

THE STEWARDSHIP TEST:  Will doing it involve a waste of God’s Talents invested in me?

THE MISSIONARY TEST:  Will doing it likely help or hinder the progress of the Kingdom of God on earth?

THE CHARACTER TEST:  Will doing it make me stronger or weaker morally?

THE FAMILY TEST:  Will doing it bring credit or dishonor to my family?

THE PUBLICITY TEST:  Would I be willing for my friends to know about it?

THE COMMON SENSE TEST:  Is it good, plain, everyday, ordinary, common sense?
