I am struggling within myself as to the place of goals in the Christian's life.
The problem: To what extent do the goals I determine represent God's will?
No, I'm not talking about those things which are proscribed by Scripture (those are generally obvious), but those things which seem to be left to the decision of the individual based on their relationship with Christ.
For example: What career field should I transfer to? Should I practice this, or that? This is allowed by Scripture, but is it a worthy goal?
At the moment, this is my grid:
1) Is it glorifying to God?
2) Is it Scriptural? (Does it represent something which is definite sin, or is it allowable?)
3) Will increase or decrease my pursuit of holiness?
4) Will it cause another to stumble?
5) Is it making the most of my time?
