Have you ever been talked out of doing the right thing?

Have you ever been talked out of doing the right thing? I don’t mean by someone who didn’t have your best interest in mind (we can usually spot that), but by someone you love and trust, by someone who wants the best for you. It’s not always easy doing the right thing and it’s especially hard when the people who love us give us great reasons why we shouldn’t. I don’t know about you but I’m really tempted to listen to well meaning people who want to talk me into believing that the right thing is also the easy thing. In Acts 21 Paul is surrounded by some really good, really godly and really well meaning people who are telling him not to go to Jerusalem. He ignores them all and it breaks their hearts. This Sunday we will examine just how it is that we get God’s will for us and/or for others so wrong. We’ll take a look at some misconceptions, many of us have, that can lead us away from, not towards God’s will.
