Exodus 28:29-30 (GW) 29 “Whenever Aaron goes into the holy place, he will be carrying the names of the sons of Israel over his heart as a constant reminder in the LORD'S presence. He must do this by wearing the breastplate for decision-making. 30 Put the Urim and Thummim into the breastplate for decision-making. They, too, will be over Aaron's heart when he comes into the LORD'S presence. In this way whenever he's in the LORD'S presence, Aaron will always be carrying over his heart the {means for determining the LORD'S} decisions for the Israelites.
Joshua 24:15 (TLB) But if you are unwilling to obey the Lord, then decide today whom you will obey. Will it be the gods of your ancestors beyond the Euphrates or the gods of the Amorites here in this land? But as for me and my family, we will serve the Lord."
Joel 3:14 (MSG) Mass confusion, mob uproar— in Decision Valley! GOD's Judgment Day has arrived in Decision Valley.
Not to decide is to decide.
Harvey Cox (1929- )
