Making decisions can be hard. We have the Word of God in Scripture and in Jesus' own words to guide us, but how do we interpret those? What are our motivations, and what are the circumstances of our decisions? We hear about a decision David made today that may seem confusing to some, and we hear Jesus talk about turning the other cheek. Does he always mean that literally?
