●     Now about food sacrificed to idols: We know that we all possess knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up. The man who thinks he knows something does not yet know as he ought to know. But the man who loves God is known by God. (I Cor 8:1-3)

●     If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. (I Cor 13:2)

1. Consider I Cor 8:1-3 and 1 Cor 13:2 What change in your thinking do you have, if any, when you consider that all the knowledge you have and seek to have is absolutely nothing, useless unless you love God and love (do what is best for) others.  ___________________________________________________________________________________________
