They've long been small group leaders since then and have helped to transform many other lives through the love of God.
The thing is we don't know the future but God does. If we base our decisions on our feelings we could be shortchanging ourselves. So we trust in God and lean not on our own understanding and He will make our paths straight. (Prov 3:5-6)

It's true we don't know the future. So, responsible people make these decisions with fear and trembling. It is said that God knows people's hearts. That being the case, it would seem to make sense for us to get to know our own. Which do you think is ultimately more important, to live authentically or to follow the rules? Think of the unruly prodigal son and his ruly homey brother. Who received the greater reward? They say the proof of the pudding is in the eating.
