Something To Think About!

• Effective Christian witness requires the power of
  the Holy Spirit and confidence in the person
  giving the witness. Effectiveness diminishes to
  the degree that either is lost. Paul illustrates
  his own concern for an impeccable testimony in 1
  Corinthians 927. The possibility of becoming a
  castaway and being rendered ineffective and
  useless is very real. When that happens you
  become as sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal (1
  Corinthians 13).

• Pauls explanation of the purpose and communion
  found in the Lords Supper highlights how
  seriously a Christian should approach and partake
  of the Lords table. On the other hand, his words
  also remind us how seriously we should avoid
  idolatry. Thus, a self-evaluation is prudent. How
  soberly do you participate in the Lords Supper?
  How diligently do you resist idolatry, whatever
  your idols may be?

• Christian conduct must be governed by that which
  pleases God and that which is most profitable for
  others. We must guard against the indifference
  that declares, I do not care what others think.
  Whether a thing is permissible is not nearly as
  important as whether it will build up others or
  undercut their faith. Christian love dictates
  that I never place a stumblingblock in the way of
  others.

• QUESTIONS FOR STUDY AND DISCUSSION

  Christians to seek every man anothers wealth?
• 2. Explain what Paul means when he says to do
  all to the glory of God.

  by identification should restrict Christian
  liberty? Give practical examples.
• 4. According to this lesson, what is so bad about
  false religions? Why do so many Christians seem
  so hesitant to acknowledge this?
• 5. Explain the principle of expediency as set
  forth in verses 23 and 24.
