All Things to All Men

Sometimes we are too pious for our own good.

This is how you should believe, act how I act, and don't change how you witness.

That's not what Paul said.

Paul said in 1 Corinthians 9:22, "I have become all things to all men so that by all possible means I might save some." In verse 19 he said "Though I am free and belong to no man, I make myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible". If only that was our mindset. He's not compromising the Gospel, he is being part of the culture, whether Jew or Gentile(verses 20-21). In v22 he says "to the weak I become weak, to win the weak. He is losing self for the good of the Gospel.

Why don't we do that? Or look down on those who do?

We should mimic his statement in verse 12, "on the contrary, we put up with anything rather than hinder the gospel of Christ."
