Dear God, Father, we thank You for this day, Monday, February 3, 2014----AOFB ministries THOUGHT FOR THE DAY--- Faith is the hand that receives God’s gift, then faith is the feet that walk with God Therefore let us not judge one another anymore, but rather resolve this, not to put a stumbling block or a cause to fall in our brother’s way. —ROMANS 14:13 (NLT) Both strong and weak Christians can cause their brothers and sisters to stumble. The strong but insensitive Christian may flaunt his or her freedom and intentionally offend others’ consciences. The scrupulous but weak Christian may try to fence others in with petty rules and regulations, thus causing dissension. Paul wants his readers to be both strong in the faith and sensitive to others’ needs. Because we are all strong in some areas and weak in others, we need to constantly monitor the effects of our behavior on others. Some Christians use an invisible weaker brother to support their own opinions, prejudices, or standards. “You must live by these standards.” They say, “or you will be offending the weaker brother.” In truth, the person would often be offending no one but the speaker. While Paul urges us to be sensitive to those whose faith may be harmed by our actions, we should not sacrifice our liberty in Christ just to satisfy the selfish motives of those who are trying to force their opinions on us. Neither fear them nor criticize them, but follow Christ as closely as you can. READ ROMANS 14-:1-13 Thank you for your prayers and support!
