Welcome:
What do you do when the Bible doesn’t give a clear “yes” or “no”? In this episode of The Bible Project Daily Podcast, we unpack Paul’s answer to one of the most practical questions in 1 Corinthians: “Can I, or can’t I?” As Paul deals with eating food offered to idols, he also gives us more timeless principles for navigating the grey areas of the Christian life. Join us as we discover how freedom, love, and the glory of God shape every choice we make.
Episode Notes:
Passage: 1 Corinthians 10:14–33
Summary:
Paul’s closing words on the “meat offered to idols” question give the church a framework for making decisions where Scripture doesn’t give a direct command. In this episode, we explore:
Key Verses:
“Therefore, my dear friends, flee from idolatry.” (1 Cor 10:14)
“So, whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” (1 Cor 10:31)
Takeaway:
Christian freedom is not the right to do whatever we please. It is the privilege to glorify God and love others in every decision we make—even in the grey areas.
