"Why, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world stands, lest I make my brother to offend".
THE MAJOR THING PAUL IS DRAWING our attention to here is how to live selfless lives.
Our life as Believers is not just about what we want.
We must be considerate of others.
We are to win people to the Lord and not to carelessly help them walk away from Him.

Yes, you know better, but others around you don't know. In order for them not to doubt your commitment to the Master and by that wonder at their own faith, you reconsider your words and actions.
This is not about being in bondage, it is about knowing that we must be considerate of others.
And make sure that our words and actions help them get closer to the Lord. That way we are helpers in drawing people to the Master.
We are Co-labourers together with Him.
Don't be a stumbling block to someone who is meant to receive the gospel.
God bless you richly with great grace and many Blessings.

ReplyDeleteWhile some pole don't think or consider what they say to their spouse, they are selfish in their thoughts and action but would rather say their spouse is selfish. The worst mistake you can make in life is to marry a woman who does not have control over her choice of words. Rather be on the roof than to be with a selfish nagging woman.
