A man lives by believing something; not by debating and arguing about many things.
Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881, Scottish philosopher, author)
Romans 14: 1-3
Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881, Scottish philosopher, author)
Romans 14: 1-3
Accept anyone who is weak in faith, but don’t argue about doubtful issues. One person believes he may eat anything, but one who is weak eats only vegetables. One who eats must not look down on one who does not eat; and one who does not eat must not criticize one who does, because God has accepted him.
Some people love to debate things. Usually they are trying to prove to someone else their point of view is better. There are so many churches today. Independent, American, Southern, Northern, you get the idea, and they differ sometimes on the smallest things. The pity is that we allow these things to prevent us from working towards the same goal.
The main goal of the Church today is to lead people to faith and knowledge of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Yet, we find so many ways to keep us from working together to accomplish this goal in these “last days.” I believe that if we were to examine these things we would find many of them small or silly. Just tools of Satan to stop the work of salvation.
I believe when we get to heaven we will all find something that we were doing wrong, or backwards. But, I think that I can safely say that there is one commandment that’s hard to mess up if we would just practice it faithfully, and that is to love one another. Drop the differences focus on Christ, and you’ll find it’s hard to get that wrong…God’s Blessings.
