How to know where to go

W. Austin Gardner • May 22, 2022

How to decide when and where to move in the work of the Lord. That is always a crucial question facing the Lord’s servants. Much of the decision-making is inevitably subjective; some of it has to be objective and some of it is contemplative, the result of quiet meditation on the Word of God. In the end the Holy Spirit makes it operative by tipping the scales of the decision-making process the way He wants them to go.
