what to do leh?
Was reading a blog article this morning and it answered a question I guess would always be at the top of our minds as Christians. And it is the question of "What can we do and what can't we do as Christians". And the article rightly used 1 Cor 10:23,24, 31-33 as a guide and came up with 4 questions to consider in answering this age old question:Is this beneficial for me spiritually (does it help or hurt my walk with God)?
Is this beneficial for me physically (since God referred to our bodies as His temple)?
Is this beneficial for my witness (since others are always watching)?
If Jesus was right here with me (and He is), is this something we would do?
Or like how my boss would put it,Is it a right (morally) thing to do?
Is it a wise thing to do?
Is it a loving (not the lovey dovey feeling but what is best for the other person) thing to do?
But rather than seeing it as constraints for a Christian, I choose to see it as a guide to help me live life in a manner which is fruitful and with purpose. Imagine living with no principles, wouldn't life be very frivolous, direction-less & bias? But even in saying that, I know the immense struggle to stay consistent in living out these principles, but that is no excuse to not work hard at applying them in my life. So God, please help me live out a consistent life!
