This text just struck me in a fresh way… especially the last clause:
“”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.” (1 Corinthians 6:12 ESV)
This shows me in a clear manner that it is up to me to keep myself from being controlled by the things of this world. To do this I must run daily to the throne of grace. May God have mercy.
