13 - Making Decisions in Grey Areas

In today's episode, the CLC discusses helpful biblical principles for making decisions in grey areas. If you are a pastor or even a small group leader, you’ve probably had someone ask you “What does the bible say about _____?” They are not usually wanting to know what is pleasing to God. They want a one verse proof text that shows how they are right and someone else is wrong. Or they want to know what they can get away with. How will the conversation look different if instead of giving a quick answer, we give godly principles based on 1 Corinthians 8:1-11:1 to equip them to make difficult decisions? David Sanchez leads this discussion.TIMESTAMPS:1:50 - Topic intro: Examples of grey area issues8:25 - "What does the Bible say about ___?"14:15 - Idol meat in 1 Corinthians 8:1-11:116:26 - Scenario #1 (1 Cor 8:4, 7-12)19:47 - The Stumbling Principle (1 Cor 8:13)26:43 - Scenario #2 (1 Cor 10:14-22)29:44 - The Mastery Principle (1 Cor 10:23; see also 6:12)36:38 - Scenario #3 (1 Cor 10:24-27)42:52 - The Offending Principle (1 Cor 10:32-33)49:23 - The Glorifying Principle (1 Cor 10:31)56:46 - What is good?1:02:58 - Outtakes For more information on the Christian Life Commission visit our webpage (texasclc.org), and follow us on Facebook (@TexasCLC) and Instagram (@txclc).
