If we are stubborn and like to get our own way,  this can sometimes lead to us digging a big hole.  However how do we know what is right.  To confirm this, we must be able to  accept the following:

1/. Absolutely we must be able to have a heart that may accept that one could be wrong

2/.  Does it fit with what I believe and does it fit in with what the bible say

3.  Is the conviction I am holding bearing fruit.
