Gray Areas

There are a few gray areas which the Bible does not address directly, but it does address in principle. When you reach one of those gray areas and are undecided if it is OK or not, consider these principles to help you reach a decision.

1.     Is it good for you? If it’s not, don’t do it.  I Corinthians 10:23

2.     Is it good for others?  If not, then don’t do it. I Corinthians 10:24

3.     Does it honor God?  If not, don’t do it. I Corinthians 10:31

4.     Does it offend others?   If it doesn’t then carry on. I Corinthians 10:32-33

Above all else, pray and seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit and of mature Christians He has put in your life.
