1 Corinthians 10.23-33: SDG- Soli Deo Gloria, Glory to God Alone
As Paul comes to the end of this section, He brings his remarks on Christian liberty to a conclusion. We often ask what harm a certain activity has, but we are encouraged here to ask 2 further questions- what harm will come to others by my actions and what actual good will come from it. Is the practice of my liberty worthwhile? Often we can scrutinise things to death ( eg. food, customs, traditions, art and media) and become obsessed with seeking out the origins of every practice, product or activity that we actually miss out on enjoying the good things that God has given to us. So go and socialise with unbelievers and be hospitable! Nevertheless, if there is a risk that someone will be caused to stumble we should relinquish our rights. Whatever we do, let it be for God’s glory and praise.
