While managing an ambulance service, I needed to explain the difference between a red and yellow dash light. I would say, “When you see a red light, that means stop because something serious is going on here. However, when you see a yellow light, it means when you have the time to have a mechanic check it out.” One individual had messed up a transport because of a yellow light.
The same holds true spiritually. Some things need immediate attention before real damage can be done. Then, there are things that can be considered when the time is right. The key is discernment.
And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in knowledge and all discernment,
Folly is joy to him who is destitute of discernment, But a man of understanding walks uprightly.
To be a successful Christian, you need to know the signs.
Give it some thought.
