Hines’ Sight

“Is It Right or Wrong?”

We often find ourselves in situations where we ask, “Is this thing right or wrong?”

When faced with this question, the following inquiries will be helpful:

Am I commanded not to do it? James 4:17

Am I commanded to do it? Ecclesiastes 12:13

Can I do it for God’s glory? 1 Corinthians 10:31

Can I do it in the name of the Lord? Colossians 3:17

Would Jesus do it? 1 Peter 2:21

Can I do it and be an example of a believer? 1 Timothy 4:12

Will it cause someone to stumble? 1 Corinthians 8:9

Would I encourage those I love to do it? Proverbs 22:16

Would I want to be doing it when Jesus comes? Matthew 16:27
