Text : 1 Cor 10
: 17-34
17Because there is one
bread, we who are many are one body, for we all partake of the one bread.
18Consider the people of Israel;* are not those who eat the sacrifices
partners in the altar? 19What do I imply then? That food sacrificed to idols
is anything, or that an idol is anything? 20No, I imply that what pagans
sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons and not to God. I do not want you to be
partners with demons. 21You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of
demons. You cannot partake of the table of the Lord and the table of demons.
22Or are we provoking the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than he?
Do All to the Glory of God23 ‘All things are lawful’, but not all things are
beneficial. ‘All things are lawful’, but not all things build up. 24Do not
seek your own advantage, but that of others. 25Eat whatever is sold in the
meat market without raising any question on the ground of conscience, 26for
‘the earth and its fullness are the Lord’s.’ 27If an unbeliever invites you
to a meal and you are disposed to go, eat whatever is set before you without
raising any question on the ground of conscience. 28But if someone says to
you, ‘This has been offered in sacrifice’, then do not eat it, out of
consideration for the one who informed you, and for the sake of conscience—
29I mean the other’s conscience, not your own. For why should my liberty be
subject to the judgement of someone else’s conscience? 30If I partake with
thankfulness, why should I be denounced because of that for which I give
thanks?
31 So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do everything for the
glory of God. 32Give no offence to Jews or to Greeks or to the church of
God, 33just as I try to please everyone in everything I do, not seeking my
own advantage, but that of many, so that they may be saved.

24/7 nourishment...

God's
love and attention for us is without end, without bound, without limits.
Why should our personal worship encompass only 1 hour on Sunday?
God invites us to a 24/7 relationship. Here's your opportunity to
continue to explore the way God's word connects with this week's worship
theme. We invite you to spend some time each day discovering God's
word...

24/7 intro: This week we continue a series exploring a number of
traditional "spiritual practices". Lectio Divina (sacred reading) is the
ancient practice of prayerful Bible reading. As we continue through our
series, you are invited to read through the gospel of John, using this
practice.
1. read the passage through slowly several times.
2. reflect on the text. Where does it connect to your life? Is there a
particular word or phrase that seems of special import to you today?
3. Pray: let your reflection lead you into prayer.
24/7 readings -

John
10-12
(suggested to read approximately half a chapter each day, but you may
find you read a little more or less each day, depending on catches your
attention.) |
