Discover how to navigate Christian liberty with wisdom and love in this exploration of 1 Corinthians 10:23-33. Paul addresses the Corinthians' claim that 'all things are lawful' by showing that while God created everything good, things become sinful when misused. Learn the difference between asking 'Is this allowed?' and the higher standard of 'Does this build others up?' This message unpacks practical guidelines for Christians facing cultural dilemmas, like how to handle food sacrificed to idols in the first century or similar gray areas today. Understand the ultimate filter for all decisions: 'Whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.' Explore the distinction between harmful people-pleasing motivated by pride and godly accommodation motivated by removing unnecessary barriers to the gospel. This teaching provides biblical wisdom for Christians struggling with questions about entertainment choices, social media use, alcohol consumption, and other areas where Scripture doesn't give explicit commands. Perfect for believers wanting to honor God in everyday decisions while loving others well.
