Do All to the Glory of God!

Therefore, whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
I Corinthians 10:31

At Faith Community Bible Church, our theme for 2008 is Do All to the Glory of God! and we’ve chosen I Corinthians 10:31 as our theme verse. As we began 2008, I challenged our congregation to live this year in a way that glorifies God. It’s what we as believers are called to do, but so often we fail to carry that out in our day to day words and actions. Keeping this thought in mind, here are five questions to ask yourself before you act or speak:

FIVE QUESTIONS TO ASK BEFORE I ACT

Will it glorify God?

For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.
–I Corinthians 6:20

Will this edify (build up) me or others?

Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers.
–Ephesians 4:29

Will this become something that dominates me?

All things are lawful for me, but all things are not helpful. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.
–I Corinthians 6:12

Will I regret this?

For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, not to be regretted; but the sorrow of the world produces death.
–II Corinthians 7:10

Will this draw others to the Savior?

You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.
–Matthew 5:14-16

Living daily for the glory of God not only pleases God, but it brings great joy and blessing to you!

God bless you,
