## Resource

Chances are that if you visit a friend’s house for dinner tomorrow night that you won’t be offered food offered to an idol, but in Paul’s day, that would have been more common. Paul says that there is only one God and all food is from him, so food sacrificed to idols, in reality, means nothing. Just because you can eat food sacrificed to idols, however, doesn’t mean you should, because it might cause your brother or sister to fall into sin. Later, Paul argues that those who serve as a minister of the gospel should be cared for with provisions, because if God cares about a farm animal reaping the rewards of his work, then surely he cares for those who preach and teach the Scriptures.
