Playing the "conviction" card [i.e., it's a personal preference/conviction"] is a pretty easy way to live our own standard and neglect the discipline of true godliness. <br /><br />However, there are many grey areas in the Christian life. For example, it is my conviction, based on stewardship principles, that I should drive my car until it falls apart. It's 10 years old and I plan to drive it forever instead of just buying a new, more comfortable one...because I can. HOWEVER, that's my PERSONAL conviction. If my Christian friend chooses to purchase a new car ever year, that's his prerogative. This is where humility is so important. I must hold strongly to my convictions and loosely to my impositions, expecting people to live just like me.David Danielshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16104555763324197239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5063427490779668421.post-80498817044755740672011-02-04T15:26:31.050-06:002011-02-04T15:26:31.050-06:00Great info.

I often get the answer it is a personal choice and everyone has to make a decision for yourself as to what is right for you, but that doesn't make sense to me. Either it is ok or it isn't for everyone. Right?Kristin Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07070304252190380676noreply@blogger.com
