All things are lawful for me, but all things are not helpful. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.
1Corinthians 6:12
Here are two, simple considerations to temper our expression of Christian liberty.
The abuser of Christian liberty has a refrain: "All things are lawful for me!"
But the genuinely liberated Christian is more concerned with what is beneficial: what glorifies God in Christ, and what does good to his brother and neighbor and self.
And the genuinely liberated Christian is more concerned with what master He is serving: am I here serving the flesh or the Spirit, my lusts or my Lord?
