Christ Is The Answer – The Limits of Liberty
20001008 Christ Is The Answer - The Limits Of Liberty - Rev. Tommy Jones
A #Christian has #freedom to do many things as they go about daily life. Back in Paul’s day, meat that had come from a sacrifice to idols was finding its way into the market. The Corinthians wondered if they were culpable if they ate this food. But we can glean a much richer lesson from Paul’s answer. Can we apply this knowledge to current issues like drinking, gambling, smoking, or other behaviors? Is it enough to know that we are allowed to do a certain activity? Do we also have a responsibility to our fellow man concerning our witness? What about the guidance of the Holy Spirit? What principles did Paul lay out for deciding whether something is right or wrong? What are the consequences of pursuing an activity despite its effect on others?

Is there a difference between Paul quoting scripture and Paul expressing what he has learned? What was the experience of the people of Corinth with polygamy and divorce?

Paul says marriage is designed to be one man to one woman period. What are the responsibilities of each partner in marriage? Is it 50/50? What are the rewards?

Christ Is The Answer – The Believer’s Body
20000910 Christ Is The Answer - The Believer's Body - Rev. Tommy Jones
#MyBodyMyChoice is a much quoted phrase right now. Is that true according to the #Bible for #Christians? The Corinthians were surrounded by a culture that said sexual immorality was of no consequence. Sound familiar? What does Christian liberty mean? Are there any limits and what are they? Should we consider the effect on others? Will certain actions turn into deadly habits? Why does Paul bring food into this discussion? Everything was created for God’s glory including our bodies. If we are grafted into the body of Christ as Believers, what happens when we give in to sexual immorality? Many are horrified when a church is defiled but where does Paul say the temple of God is? How can we avoid sexual sin? Paul ends on a positive note exhorting us to use our bodies to glorify God.
We are grieving for the loss of a mother, sister, and a daughter who was also a cofounder of this site, Jeanetta Jones Daniel. But, we know by her love that she was a Believer in Jesus Christ and that she is in a much better place with the Lord now.
