This verse is often taken out of its context in order [for some] to justify a sinful behavior or activity. I would suggest that before exercising any presumed freedom or liberty in Christ Jesus you consider your honest responses to the following three (3) questions.
- Can I thank God for what I am about to do?
- Will God be glorified?
- Will I stumble another person?
I submit to you that sponsoring a child who lives in poverty, through a minstry such as Compassion International, positively addresses each of those questions.
Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ. 1 Corinthians 11:1
