ROMANS 14:1

Accept him whose faith is weak, without passing judgment on disputable matters.

#Romans14:1

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

Our life in Christ is such a blessing! We welcome new Christians into our fellowship to share that blessing. We don't bring them in to scrutinize their past failures or the current struggles, but to bring them into the love of God's famiily. God has welcomed us graciously and compassionately. Let's do the same with new Christians.

Who is weak in faith and who is strong? We are all weakin some areas and strong in others. Our faith is strong

if we can survive contact with worldly people without falling into

their patterns. It is weak in an area if we must avoid certain activities, people, or places in order to protect our spiritual life. It is ons

na important to take self-inventory in order to find out our strengths and weaknesses. Whenever in doubt, we should ask, Can I do that without sinning? Can I influence others for good, rather than being

influenced by them?In areas of strength, we should not fear being defiled by the

world; rather we should go and serve God. In areas of weakness,

we need to be cautious. If we have a strong faith but shelter it,

we are not doing Christ's work in the world. If we have a weak

faith but expose it, we are being extremely foolish.

 This verse assumes there will be differences of opinion

in the church about what is right or wrong. Paul says we are not

to quarrel about issues that are matters of opinion. Differences

should not be feared or avoided but accepted and handled with

love. Don't expect everyone, even in the best possible church, to

agree on every subject. Through sharing ideas we can come to ao

fuller understanding of what the Bible teaches. Accept, listen to,

and respect others. Differences of opinion need not cause division.

They can be a source of learning and richness in our relationships.

My Prayer...

Father, please make me more understanding and patient with my brothers and sisters in Christ, especially those who are new Christians. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
