You have wearied the LORD with your words. Yet you say, “How have we wearied him?” By saying, “All who do evil are good in the sight of the LORD, and he delights in them.” Or by asking, “Where is the God of justice?” Malachi 2:17.

The New Life In Christ: Now about food sacrificed to idols: We know that we all possess knowledge. Knowledge puffs, but love builds up. 1Corinthians 8:1.

But not everyone knows this. Some people are still so accustomed to idols that when they eat each food they think of it as having been sacrificed to an idol, and since their conscience is weak, it is defiled.

But food does not bring is near to God; we are no worse if we do not eat, and no better if we do.

Be careful, however, that the exercise of your freedom does not become a stumbling block to the weak.

So this weak brother, for whom Christ died, is destroyed by your knowledge. When you sin against your brothers in this way and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ. 1Corinthians 8:7-9 &  8:11-12. Amen.

…until I die I will not put away my integrity from me. Job 27:2-5.

The New Life In Christ: Woe to the shepherds who destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! says the LORD. Jeremiah 23:1.

Therefore thus says the LORD…concerning the shepherds who shepherd my people: It is who have driven them away, and you have not attended to them. So I will attend to you for your evil doings, says the LORD. Then I myself will gather the remnant of my flock out of all the lands where I have driven them, and will bring them back to their fold, and they shall be fruitful and multiply. I will raise up shepherds over them who will shepherd them, and they shall not fear any longer, or be dismayed, nor shall any be missing, says the LORD. Jeremiah 23:1-4.

The New Life In Christ: So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sumps up the Law and the Prophets. Matthew 7:12.

Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to do it.

 Do not say to your neighbor, “Go, and come again tomorrow I will give it”-when you have it with you.

Do not plan harm against your neighbor who lives trustingly beside you. Proverbs 3:27-29.

Some friends play at friendship but a true friend sticks closes than one’s nearest kin. Proverbs 18:24.

For human ways are under the eyes of the LORD, and he examines all their paths. Proverbs 5:21. Amen.
