The Bible consistently warns against following one's own heart, declaring that the heart is “deceitful above all things, and desperately sick” (Jeremiah 17:9). For the Christian, the command is not to follow internal feelings, but to follow the objective truth of God's Word (Psalm 119:105) and the explicit commands of Jesus Christ. True guidance comes from the renewed mind led by the Holy Spirit, not the fallen, subjective desires of the self.  

Christians can and must be both intellectually honest and spiritually faithful because faith and reason are complementary gifts from God. Intellectual honesty means seeking truth wherever it leads, while spiritual fidelity means grounding that search in the revealed truth of Scripture and trusting the Person of Christ. The pursuit of knowledge should lead to deeper worship, not doubt, for all truth is ultimately God's truth (Colossians 2:3).

A Christian must view conspiracy theories with extreme caution and discernment, prioritizing truth and verifiable evidence (Proverbs 14:15). The spiritual danger is that they undermine trust in God's sovereignty (Psalm 33:10–11), substituting it with fear of human power. Believers are commanded to put off falsehood (Ephesians 4:25) and remain sober-minded (1 Peter 5:8), focusing on the revealed truth of Scripture rather than speculative claims.

A Christian must affirm objective morality, meaning certain actions are inherently right or wrong, regardless of opinion. This standard is rooted not in cultural views but in the unchanging character of a holy God (Psalm 145:17). Subjective morality fails to account for the universal human conscience (Romans 2:14–15) and undermines universal human rights. The Christian's call is to pursue holiness by conforming their lives to this fixed, objective truth (1 Peter 1:15–16).

When does truth-telling conflict with protecting life? We explore the moral dilemma of lying, examining the principle of the ninth commandment (Exodus 20:16) versus the higher duty to save the innocent, using examples like the Hebrew midwives and Rahab.

Can a Christian support same-sex marriage? We look at the biblical definition of marriage established by Jesus (Matthew 19) and the unwavering command to love all people unconditionally (Mark 12:31). This post guides new believers on balancing truth and compassion.
