1 Corinthians Study: Food Sacrificed to Idols

S: 8:13 "Therefore, if what I eat causes my brother to fall into sin, I will never eat meat again, so that I will not cause him to fall.

O: Although in my circles, eating meat that has been offered to idols is seldom heard of, there are other practices that could cause a brother to fall. My circle of influence should be leading weaker christians to Christ, not away from Him. Although some things are permissible, they are not always helpful.

A: I need to be careful how I exercise my freedom, not boasting or flaunting it as a trophy. The fruits of the Spirit can help me with this. Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, gentleness, self-control.

P: Lord, there is true freedom in you. Help me to draw others toward you and not to bring offense to my brothers.
