Do you prefer to dip your fries in ketchup or ranch? Some will vote for ketchup, and some will vote for ranch. Others will say they don\u2019t like either. Still others will say they don\u2019t like French fries at all. Which of these groups is right? I would like to tell you that the ranch-likers are right because that\u2019s the side I\u2019m on, but the truth is there really is no right or wrong in this caseit\u2019s just a matter of opinion. Of course, how you dip your French fries is not a serious issue. You (probably) won\u2019t see anybody protesting about ketchup versus ranch. However, people are protesting about and discussing many serious issues: mental health, immigration, the legalization of marijuanajust to name a few. In this devotion, I\u2019m not going to tell you which sides of these debates you should take as a Christian. Instead, I\u2019m going to tell you the importance of studying God\u2019s Word and seeing what God Himself has to say about every issue. As Christians, our lives should be based on what the Bible says because it tells us who God is and how we can have a right relationship with Him through Jesus. Godthe definition of good, the source of life, and the only One who knows everythingshould always be the final authority in all our decisions and beliefs. We should lead our lives based on His Word because it causes us to think about everything in light of the good news of Jesus. \u2022 Melissa Yeagle How do you feel about some of the tough issues listed in today\u2019s reading?
