Our culture no longer has the ability to think in rational reasonable terms. I am not describing the minority of people who do have these abilities, but the majority in the culture that flies by the seat of their emotions and desires, even those who claim to be Christian.
The inability to evaluate each matter according to the Word of God comes from a worldly focus rather than a heavenly one.
1 Peter 4:11-13 "11 If anyone speaks, he should speak as one conveying the words of God. If anyone serves, he should serve with the strength God supplies, so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen. 12 Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial that has come upon you, as though something strange were happening to you. 13 But rejoice that you share in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed at the revelation of His glory.…"
The challenge: Seek Christ daily for His will and purposes. When we do this, many around us are not going to understand, they see everything from the perspective of the culture rather than from God's perspective as written in the Scriptures.
When we are spiritually minded, scripture versed and desiring to hear from Christ, then everything we do will be according to His promptings. When we fail to ask Him for direction, we will quickly confess it, learn from it and begin again to seek Him.
Psalm 14:2
"The LORD has looked down from heaven upon the sons of men To see if there are any who understand, Who seek after God."
