‘To Really Enjoy Our Meals.’
1 Corinthians 10:25-30.
a) 1 Corinthians 10:25. We should eat anything sold in the market without letting our conscience trouble us.
b) 1 Corinthians 10:26. The Earth is the Lord’s and everything it contains is His.
c) 1 Corinthians 10:27. It is very acceptable to have a meal in the house of an unbeliever.
d) 1 Corinthians 10:28-29. If someone TELLS us that the food is offered to idols then we should not eat it. This is for the sake of the person who told us.
e) 1 Corinthians 10:29. Our freedom should not be judged by another person’s conscience. It means that we are offending them.
f) 1 Corinthians 10:30. We simply give thanks to God for the food we eat.

Chris.
Children are very sensitive and for most of them their experiences as a child are often remembered right through their adulthood. Christian parents that cause their children to lose their Faith are putting themselves in a very precarious position spiritually.
