Paul addresses the issue of food offered to idols; it’s another issue that’s been raised by the Christians in Corinth. In responding to their questions, Paul gives guidance on how to make decisions in “gray areas.” Paul’s response reveals that, due to our conscience, we may have different views on certain topics. So, we should be intentional in shaping our conscience by Scripture. In handling gray areas, we must recognize both our freedom and our responsibility. In making decisions, it’s helpful to ask: What does Scripture say? What does my conscience say? How does this affect others?
