Do what's right

People often ask me if my being a Christuan prohibits me from doing certain things, and it is usually something that I feel is a sin or would be detrimental to my testimony. Now, unfortunately, I sin every day. Again, something I am not proud of but will not deny.

The point, though, is the Bible is very clear on what sin is in specific areas: murder, fornication, adultery, drunkenness, lying, etc. But, there are other things that aren't specifically called sins in the Bible but I know I shouldn't do them.

Today's word is 1 Corinthians 10:23, NKJV, which reads, "All things are lawful for me, but not all things are helpful; all things are lawful for me, but not all things edify."

One of Lankford's Laws states, "Just because you have a right doesn't make it right." There are things that in certain parts of this state, this country, this world that are "legal" but there aren't right to do.

Ask yourself, "Is what I am doing going to build me up, someone else up, GOD'S Kingdom up, or is it going to tear someone down?" If the answer is that it tears someone down, that shouldn't be done - we edify (build up). Things may be "legal"; let's do what's right.

Be Blessed,
