Paul’s instructions about meat sacrificed to idols expose a danger still alive in us: knowledge that serves self instead of love that serves people. 1 Corinthians 8 presses every believer to ask, “Am I using what I know to build others up or to puff myself up?” Pastor Brady walked through the passage, spotlighting Paul’s own anguish for people (Romans 9) and calling us to a life where every gift, opinion, and freedom is gladly laid down for the good of a brother or sister and for the rescue of the lost.
