Scripture of the Day: Rationalized Topics Pt. 2
Some of us tend to rationalize or minimize certain things we do because it doesn’t specifically addresses those things word for word in the Bible.

Living Together Before Marriage
As a Christians, are job is to live a life that’s pleasing to God and encourage those around us to do the same. Romans 14:21 says not to do anything that will cause your brother to fall. If your brother/sister observes you living together with someone else they may assume you’re having sexual relations with that person. That assumption can cause another to believe “it’s okay” to have sex and it’s not (1 Corinthians 6:18).

Drinking/Drunk
The Bible tells us in Ephesians 5:18 not to get drunk with wine.
“Is it okay to drink but, not get drunk?” 1 Corinthians 10:23″Everything is permissible”–but not everything is beneficial. “Everything is permissible”–but not everything is constructive. To construct means to build up. When we drink alcohol we don’t build up, we tear down. Each sip gets us closer and closer to drunk which is a sin.

This is not designed to condemn those who are struggling with sin. This is designed to help perfect Holiness to God.

Be Blessed!
