Recommended Resources: Christian Liberty Forum
At our previous Forum, we discussed what Christian Liberty is and what it looks like to practice it with wisdom, holiness, and love. This Forum provided an opportunity to take a deeper dive in 1 Corinthians 8-11, where Paul speaks into our Christian Liberty and the role of the conscience. “Christian Liberty” refers to the freedom Christians have to exercise discernment when it comes to matters the Bible does not forbid or that are not essential to the faith.
You can watch the Forum to gain additional clarity on Christian Liberty and our conscience.
