Liberty and Idolatry (25 of 40)

1 Corinthians 10:14-33
If you have your Bible, turn to 1st Corinthians chapter 10. I want to talk to you about Liberty and Idolatry.
Now how many people in here have gone to the fair since we've had the fair? Just a few, not a big fair-going crowd here. I had not been to the fair until this year and I've been twice. I went Sunday night, and then I went last night, and it brings back a lot of memories. I can remember as a kid going to fairs and going on some of the rides and this and that. And I thought it was a lot of fun. You could probably gain 150 lbs. in one just ten-day fair. But it's a fun experience. And the rides can be a lot of fun. But I don't know if you're anything like me. As I've gotten older, I've had to watch it in terms of what kind of rides I go on. Anything that looks like it's going to spin I've got to stay away from that. Now how did I learn that? I learned it the hard way. Has anybody ever learned the hard way that you don't do good with spinning rides? Yes! I learned that when I was in 7th grade when I went to Astro World, and they had a ride called The Barrel of Fun. It wasn't fun. I'm telling you, it was the barrel of not fun. You're in this big circular thing, and it was like Velcro. And you went next to the wall, and then it just spun around faster and faster and faster till you stuck to the wall, along with your vomit. I mean, it was just there on the wall. It was awful, The Barrel of Fun. Well, because of that experience as a 7th grader, I just know there are certain things that I can't do. Now I'm free as I go to the fair or go to Disneyworld or anything like that. You pay your money. You're free to go on any of the rides. As long as you're over like 4' tall and you're not pregnant, they'll let you on. And so I can go on those rides, but I know that it's like that ride might really cause me problems. I have kind of an inne ...
