The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

1 Corinthians 10:23, “All things are lawful, but not all things are profitable.

All things are lawful, but not all things edify.”

Remember the other day when we looked at the verse in 1Cor 3:21 that

said, “…all things belong to you”? Well, Paul adds a caveat to that idea

when he says, “but not everything is profitable”; not everything builds

you up. Once again, wisdom squeezes in between the two verses. You

can, for instance, eat anything you want; but what you eat may not be

nourishing for you. You can do what you want with your time. It’s yours,

but the way you use it may not be to your good. Be wise. Think through

everything you do, because while “all things are yours,” you still “belong

to Christ.”

God bless you and give you wisdom in all things,
