SCRIPTURE: Josh. 15-17; 1 Cor. 8
1 Corinthians 8:10
For instance, say you flaunt your freedom by going to a banquet thrown in honor of idols, where the main course is meat sacrificed to idols. Isn’t there great danger if someone still struggling over this issue, someone who looks up to you as knowledgeable and mature, sees you go into that banquet? The danger is that he will become terribly confused—maybe even to the point of getting mixed up himself in what his conscience tells him is wrong.
OBSERVATIONS: Even when my actions are right, the harm that they can do is enough to make me think twice about what I’m saying or doing to create doubt and confusion in the mind of another.
APPLICATION: Communicate more clearly. Help folks understand your actions more intentionally.
PRAYER: God, help me think twice, and fast. In Christ’s name, Amen.
