In Touch, the teaching ministry of Dr. Charles Stanley.

Next on In Touch, the Rocky Road to the Will of God.

One of the most important subjects in the Bible is the will of God.

An unbelievers sort of scoffity idea, and believers oftentimes ignore it.

But the truth is, every single day you and I either living in the will of God or out of

the will of God.

It's a choice we make, and it's a choice we make on the basis of the decisions we face in life and we face

many of them. So when you think about the will of God for your life, you think about how

you go about discovering His will, what you do when you understand what His will is,

do you obey him or do you not, or you just think about it? Do you wonder why you get stuff in trouble sometime and you think, well, if I'd have just

thought about so-and-so?

Very important subject.

So what I want to title this message is this as I thought about, the rocky road to the will

of God, because it's not easy, and there's

stumbling blocks along the way if we're not careful. And what I'd like to do is to simply

tell you about the obstacles and let you ask yourself the question, is that why I'm not seeking

the will of God for my life?

Have I neglected one of the most important aspects of my life?

So I have a number of points and I hope you get them all down.

And so I want to begin with number one.

One of the Rocky Roads is simply this, and that's self-will.

We want our way.
