2018-08-12 Back to Basics Rule 1: Do No Harm
The number of rules in life can be overwhelming. John Wesley had a knack of simplifying the difficult. He reduced the rules of a christian life to to three rules:
1. Do No Harm.
2. Do Good.
3. Stay in Love with God.
If we can follow these rules, we can be the best that we can be.
When doctors do harm it is a serious infraction. So is our spiritual "malpractice". When we do harm and sin we cannot be a faithful witness to the world. We can lead them astray. In Romans 12:9-21 Paul provides the guidelines for doing no harm.
