Philippians 4:4-7 (NIV)
4  Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!
5  Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near.
6  Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
7  And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

1. TOO MANY CHOICES

• “The Paradox of Choice: Why More Is Less.” ~Barry Schwartz
• The more options we’re given only makes us more anxious.

2. FEAR OF MAKING A MISTAKE

Acts 15:1 (NIV)
1 Certain people came down from Judea to Antioch and were teaching the believers: “Unless you are circumcised, according to the custom taught by Moses, you cannot be saved.”

Acts 15:2-5 (NIV)
2 This brought Paul and Barnabas into sharp dispute and debate with them. So Paul and Barnabas were appointed, along with some other believers, to go up to Jerusalem to see the apostles and elders about this question.
3 The church sent them on their way, and as they traveled through Phoenicia and Samaria, they told how the Gentiles had been converted. This news made all the believers very glad.
4 When they came to Jerusalem, they were welcomed by the church and the apostles and elders, to whom they reported everything God had done through them.
5 Then some of the believers who belonged to the party of the Pharisees stood up and said, “The Gentiles must be circumcised and required to keep the law of Moses.”

Acts 15:6 (NIV)
6 The apostles and elders met to consider this question.

Acts 15:16-18 (NIV)
16 “‘After this I will return and rebuild David’s fallen tent. Its ruins I will rebuild, and I will restore it,
17 that the rest of mankind may seek the Lord, even all the Gentiles who bear my name, says the Lord, who does these things’—
18 things known from long ago.

Acts 15:19 (NIV)
19 “It is my judgment, therefore, that we should not make it difficult for the Gentiles who are turning to God.

Acts 15:22, 25, 28 (NSAB)
22 Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, with the whole church, to choose men from among them to send to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas…
25 it seemed good to us, having become of one mind, to select men to send to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul…
28 “For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us to lay upon you no greater burden than these essentials:

• "It seemed good..."

Proverbs 14:12 (NASB)
12 There is a way which seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death.

• "The church isn’t a building we go to, but an identity we embrace."

So what do you do when you just can’t decide?

1. Seek God’s counsel.
2. Seek godly counsel from godly people.
3. Allow the Holy Spirit to guide you into what is good.

Romans 8:28 (NIV)
28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
