Rules Of A Godly Life: Part 1: Rule 15

"If you have an important decision to make, or you find yourself in circumstances where you know not what is best to do or answer, spend at least one night in meditation.  You will not be sorry."

This is a nice and short rule!  Giving time for God to direct your paths through prayerful meditation can provide you the insight you need to navigate the storms of this life.  Better yet, take the time now to prepare for the storms in prayerful meditation, feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, stopping oppression, and housing the homeless and God will answer you before you even call.  Isaiah 58

Rules Of A Godly Life: Part 1: Rule 14

"Do not think any less of a godly and holy life because it is held in contempt by the unsaved.  For the same reason, do not forget the gravity of sin just because it is so widespread and most people live a sinful life.  Righteousness and the majority are not always on the same side.  The way to hell is always full of wandering souls.  Matt. 7:13.  If God should ask you on the Judgment Day, "Why did you desecrate the Sabbath?  Why did you indulge in drunkenness? Why were you dishonest?  Why did you pass your time in hating and jealousies?"  Would you then answer, "Lord, I did so because almost everyone else did so."?  This will be of all answers the least worthy, and God will say, "Because you have sinned with the majority, you will go to hell with the majority."


I do not like to put words in the moth of Jesus and so I have a problem with how this rule is written although I agree with it in principle.
