All things are lawful, but not all things are profitable. All things are lawful, but not all things edify. Let no one seek his own good, but that of his neighbor . . . Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. 1 Corinthians 10:23–24, 31

Romans 13:1
Everyone must submit to governing authorities. For all authority comes from God, and those in position of authority have been placed there by God.
In what ways is it hard for you to submit to authority?
1 Corinthians 10:23-34, 31
You say, "I am allowed to do anything" --but not everything is good for you. You say, "I am allowed to do anything" --but not everything is beneficial. So whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.
Romans 1:22-23
Claiming to be wise, they instead became utter fools. And instead of worshiping the glorious, ever-living God, they worshiped idols made to look like mere people and birds and animals and reptiles.
Worship is more than singing praise songs. To worship someone or something is to dedicate time, thoughts, energy, and resources towards it. What are you worshiping that isn't God?
How does worshiping those things leave you feeling?
