Anyone ever ask you, "Is it OK to ____________?"
Maybe you are the one asking the question. Most of us have been on both sides of it.
Christians, I think, wonder about what is permissible. Maybe a better question is this.
What is best and the most beneficial?
As Paul writes the Corinthians (1 Corinthians 10:23, 24 ), he quotes them regarding their permissive approach, and then he suggests a better thing to think about.
"Everything is permissible"—but not everything is beneficial. "Everything is permissible"—but not everything is constructive. Nobody should seek his own good, but the good of others.
Our individual choices impact others, so we follow the model of Jesus of putting the interest of others before our own.
What do you think about that?
