For The Glory of God

Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.

Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God:

Even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved. 
                                                                                    (1 Cor 10:31-33 KJV)

Yup! We do have the right to do anything; but, according to St. Paul, not everything is beneficial. We who are of the body of Christ, should think first of what is good for others and not so much for ourselves. If what we eat or drink; what we do, would be damaging to others then we ought not be doing it. It is as simple as that.

I know that the world teaches us that we have rights. But, so does everyone else around us. As we're busy thinking about our own rights to do whatever we please; let us all consider how we might be trampling on the rights and the lives of others.

We have the right to do just about anything that we want; but, is that anything that we choose to do building up others; building up the body of Christ, glorifying God?

Whatever we eat or drink or do, do for the glory of God!

God's Peace - Pr. J
