What's your plan as we go into the holidays for how you're going to share the

gospel with your family members or friends who don't know Jesus? I wrote a short

resource called Gospel Threads to help you intentionally share Christ in the

fabric of your normal conversations around the table or the living room or wherever you are,

and we want to send you a free copy of gospel threads to your front door.

Just go to radical.net slash share Jesus.

Pray the word with David Platt is a resource from radical. net.

1st Corinthians chapter 6 verse 12.

All things are lawful for me, but not all things are helpful.

All things are lawful for me, but I will not be dominated by anything.

Oh, there's so much we could say about this short verse, but just think about this, a really, really

simple principle that can apply in so many ways in our lives. So there are things that are lawful but are not

helpful. Things we could do but would not be best for us to do.

Like this is so important that we think

not just can I do this, but should I do this? Not is it allowable for me to do this, but is it beneficial

for me to do this? Like those are two different questions. I mean, both are important.

If it's not allowable, then yeah, don't do it.

If like if God's law speaks against it, then we shouldn't do it.

Like that's that's easy.

But just because we can do something in a certain situation doesn't mean we should do something in a certain situation.

We need to ask, is it beneficial? And not just for me, not just for me, but for others.

Like, there are all kinds of things that I have total freedom to do in Christ that may not be best for other people around me.
