I would like to make an excuse as to why I haven't posted for 4 days (5 if you consider after midnight another day, though I take it by the "days" I'm awake and asleep). But that doesn't help anything so I'll just tell you the facts.
For Monday to Wednesday I was gone on a retreat. Therefore I had asked my bffaeaeae to take over for a few days. But, I did keep up the devos. However, I found wi-fi at my retreat so I should have continued posting, or at the very least comment on what my bff had posted. But I didn't check at all.
So I came back on Wednesday and found that nothing had been posted. Then got too lazy to post Wednesday night and Thursday night. Laziness will be the death of my spiritual life. It's like I'm too lazy to talk to the boy I like. I'm killing myself here. SO WHY DO I DO IT?!?!?!?!? no logical sense and yet it happens....I'm not logical?
Anyways. On to the actual passage:
"Food Sacrificed to Idols"
Main Point: Don't restrain yourself from eating food offered to idols because it is now "unholy" (since it was offered to idols) (as what you eat does not bring you closer or farther away from God) BUT because it can cause the fall of others from their faith when they see you eating something "unholy". For their sake. Not Yours.
"The Rights of an Apostle"
the right: to harvest what they have sown (aka the support and belief of the believers)
slave to everyone to win as many as possible
"(though I am not free from God's law but am under Christ's law)"
"I have become all things to all men so that by all possible means I might save some."
It takes hard work. Discipline. It's not easy.
