1 CORINTHIANS — Part 11

I have become all things to all people, that by all means I might save some.

1 Corinthians 9:22b

Temptations are, by nature, difficult. And through all of them we are enticed, not only to sin, but to serve some of “god” instead of Him.

Lord help us!

God does, indeed help in this. He promises to not allow us to be tempted beyond our ability to resist and will always provide a way out of the situation. We have only to look to Him and what He provides!

Thank You, Lord!

1 CORINTHIANS — Part 9

I have become all things to all people, that by all means I might save some.

1 Corinthians 9:22b

It was common in Corinth for food that was previously sacrificed to idols to be sold in the marketplace purchase and use.

For some it seemed grossly improper for a believer to purchase and eat any of this food. For other believers, it was not an issue.

Paul tells us the bigger issue is the conscience of our brother and sister, not the food!
