A key word from Paul's teaching that is most applicable here is 'examine'. 2 Corinthians 13:5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates? This cannot be a "morbid introspection", but a willingness to invite the Holy Spirit to do what we cannot. He is not going to force His way in, and there is an element of courage to accept what may come forth from this personal visitation. This we are taught from the Psalms of David. Psalm 26:2 Examine me, O Lord, and prove me; Try ..read more

The Truth that children of God can maintain purity in the midst of the common and unclean has been made evident. 1 Corinthians 10:23-29 All things are lawful for me, but not all things are helpful; all things are lawful for me, but not all things edify. Let no one seek his own, but each one the other’s well-being. Eat whatever is sold in the meat market, asking no questions for conscience’ sake;  for the earth is the Lord’s, and all its fullness.
