What is best for All the children of God?

Tuesday January 31st, 1 Corinthians 8: 11 Christ gave up his life for that person. Wouldn't you at least be willing to give up going to dinner for him--because, as you say, it doesn't really make any difference? But it does make a difference if you hurt your friend terribly, risking his eternal ruin! The unfortunate tendency throughout history is for individuals to turn their focus toward their individual rights and away from the needs of the community. In a Christian society there would be no need for taxes because every individual would gladly give, to the best of their ability, for the needs of the whole. We all know in real life it doesn’t work that way. In reality everyone tries to get by with contributing the least they can get away with for the needs of the whole. Then again, the majority of those in charge of taking care of the needs of the whole manage some pretty selfish deeds themselves. In the midst of all the greed going around, personal, corporate, and governmental, we are called through scripture to set aside some of our desires for the sake of the whole. Christ gave his life. What are you willing to do?
