Is it OK?

Good Morning! 1Corinth 6:12 Everything is permissible for me, but not everything is beneficial. Everything is permissible for me, but I will not be mastered by anything.Now in these Vs here Paul is talking about Sexual Immorality, but I think today this could apply to a lot of things. I know for me there are some things I do that I know I shouldn't do, but I do them anyway and then try and justify it by saying, well everyone else is doing it. Or one of my favorites, We are in a different age and time now, So its OK! It may be an occasional sexual joke or even encounter. It may be having a drink here and there, but not if your getting drunk. And I know I get on this subject a lot, but I can say this cause I used to do it to. But one of our biggest things we make an excuse for is Smoking! Granted all these thongs are permissible, but are they beneficial. Just a little something to ask our self the next time we want to go a little far with our boyfriend or girlfriend. Or we go to light that smoke. But the best thing we can ask ourselves is, Is this thing I'm about to do beneficial to my witness for Jesus. I know there are a lot of things I could do today that are permissible in the eyes of this world, but are they permissible in the eyes of God? And I guarantee that if you are standing there justifiably if it is OK or not, it probably isn't. Everything is permissible for us! But is everything beneficial to our witness? HABD!
