Don’t quarrel about issues that are matters of opinion. Romans 14

PAUSE FOR THOUGHT

Our honest convictions must not become rules for the Church. As has been said “In essentials unity, In nonessentials, liberty; in everything love 14:1

One day each of us will stand personally before the judgement seat of Christ, we must not judge each other in what we each allow or disallow we must not put any obstacles in the path of another but do all within our power not to trip up another Christian even if it means abstaining from what I am free to do while in their presence 14-16

We should avoid any action that is forbidden by Scripture, but sometimes Scripture is silent. Then we should follow our own conscience. “ if you do what is not right you are sinning” 14:23

Whatever we do we do to honour the Lord we are accountable to Christ, not to others. However I must not let my freedom ruin someone for whom Christ died 14:15

What we see as so important in this life does not compare with the true treasures we share already and what awaits us! Everything will look so different 14:17

MEMORY VERSE

So let us aim for harmony in the church and building each other up. Romans 15:19 N.L.T.
