Don't Confuse The Two

Writer's picture: Paul CondelloPaul Condello

People can make you feel like your principles are really about your fears or naiveté.


For example, thinking about your work at a car lot, you know your co-owner likes to put you down for not selling the cars for much more than you do and asks if you are afraid the customers are going to sue you or something.

Christians, don’t confuse your ideas about what is wrong with what people make you think you are afraid to do.  If someone asks you to do something you feel you shouldn’t do as a Christian, it isn’t uncommon for the other person to ask you if you are afraid or to make you feel insecure in some other way.  You may wonder if you are afraid yourself.

 

To prepare for these situations, know why you believe what you believe and why it isn’t a matter of you feeling afraid or naive.  For example, thinking about your work at a car lot, you know your co-worker likes to put you down for not selling the cars for much more than you do and asks if you are afraid the customers are going to sue you or something.  However, remember that you don’t do it because you don’t want to take advantage of the customers. 

 

Your principles are not secretly just some kind of weakness. Understanding this will help prepare you for dealing with these situations. Otherwise, these situations can cause you to question and change your principles for the wrong reasons.
