Why we face troubles
Many of our troubles occur because we base our choices on unreliable authorities: 1. culture:" Everyone is doing it" 2.traditon:" We've always done it" 3. reason:" It seemed logical" 4.emotion:" It just felt right " All four of these are flawed by the Fall. Besides, notice that the choices made based on no.3 and no.4? The key words were 'seemed' and 'felt'. The choices you made were based on mere feeling and made without depth. We need a perfect standard that will never lead us in the wrong direction. God's Word meets that need. Every word of God is flawless. I give the root of the problem, but the answer is up to you to decide. Points taken from Purpose driven life book.
