So, what about eating meat that has been offered to idols? Well, we all know that an idol is not really a god and that there is only one God. There may be so-called gods both in heaven and on earth, and some people actually worship many gods and many lords. But for us, There is one God, the Father, by whom all things were created, and for whom we live. And there is one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things were created, and through whom we live. However, not all believers know this. Some are accustomed to thinking of idols as being real, so when they eat food that has been offered to idols, they think of it as the worship of real gods, and their weak consciences are violated. It’s true that we can’t win God’s approval by what we eat. We don’t lose anything if we don’t eat it, and we don’t gain anything if we do. But you must be careful so that your freedom does not cause others with a weaker conscience to stumble.

Grieving Christians face a unique challenge by way of "religious parts"—parts of the human soul that are activated around religious matters. These parts may quote Scripture to prevent us from accessing our emotions, thereby blocking our healing from grief. This reading plan introduces you to religious parts, their intentions, as well as biblical examples. You will have the opportunity to transform your own religious parts in the process.
