“As for the one who is weak in faith, welcome him, but not to quarrel over opinions. One person believes he may eat anything, while the weak person eats only vegetables. Let not the one who eats despise the one who abstains, and let not the one who abstains pass judgment on the one who eats, for God has welcomed him. Who are you to pass judgment on the servant of another? It is before his own master that he stands or falls. And he will be upheld, for the Lord is able to make him stand.
So then each of us will give an account of himself to God.”

‭‭Romans‬ ‭14:1-4, 12‬ ‭ESV‬‬

All,
This stands out because Paul says, “Who are you to pass judgment on the servant of another? It is before his own master that he stands or falls.” I have many friends that love Christ and we disagree on several theological issues. This verse gives me great peace because it tells me that at the end of the day, my friend is answering to God and not me. Who am I to condemn? There are things that I feel very convicted about and I share those in love, but that’s as far as I go. I am free to express my concerns and he is free to express his as long as we are growing in our relationship w Christ and not causing others to stumble. Please pray that we and our friends build one another up and hold each other accountable in love for Christ today. Please pray for the CLC Prayer breakfast with Bill Curry on 2/18.
