3/25/2019 It's not for me

Joshua 21-22; Psalm 47; 1 Corinthians 10

1 Corinthians 10:12 So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don't fall!
The corinthians were a church, a people that liked to test the waters. They were like the rebels of the time. Paul knew what they liked and what they were capable of. People like the corinthians need to be spoken to in a firm way. They need to be told "if you do this...this will happen". Because if not they will try all bad things thinking they're okay.

v. 23 Everything is permissible"—but not everything is beneficial. "Everything is permissible"—but not everything is constructive

What is good for one person may not be good for another. Everything in life needs to be looked at through our own eyes.

Celebrities break up, make up, have sex, lose weight, gain weight, take pills, gamble, get arrested and only get community service. But i know that lifestyle is no good for me.

Rich people break the law, steal, kill think theyre above it all - but just because they have a lot of money that life is not for me.
I will not accept certain things in my life. Yes, I have fallen and sinned but i don't want those things any more. Drunkeness, sexual immorality, pornography, greed, pridefulness is permissible - someone in the world at this time is doing one or more of those things, but its NOT acceptable for me.

Lord,
Thank you for allowing me to see the light. Its taken a long time but as you say "but when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it". I will take those words and try always to find my way out. I trust your will for me and ask you to guide me for all of my days.
I forever love you always
Amen
