—1 Corinthians 8:1-6

What about meat that has been sacrificed to idols? There’s nothing really comparable that I know of in our culture. But what about Christmas? Some believers refuse to celebrate Christmas because of its pagan roots. Some believers truly celebrate Christ’s birth at Christmas. Others boycott Christmas because of its commercialism, and others still combat commercialism by trying to “put Christ back in Christmas.” “Knowledge puffs up but love builds up.” Does it really matter? How about encouraging each other, whatever our choice? We won’t get it all right, anyway, until we realize that only God has all the answers.
