SEPTEMBER 5, 2022 – It’s Not The Stuff

SEPTEMBER 5, 2022
Daily Reading – Psa. 130-137 / 1 Co. 8

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

1 Corinthians 8:8-9 But meat commendeth us not to God: for neither, if we eat, are we the better; neither, if we eat not, are we the worse. But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

     There are activities and products that churches recommend people abstain from. In the past, they were never questioned. People saw them as sinful and did not do them. Today however, everything is questioned. Young people especially are asking why they cannot do those things. How unsatisfying is the answer, “because I say so.” When an adult no longer has the “say so,” the young person will likely try it.

      As today’s verses say, it is not always the STUFF that is bad, but rather how it causes others to question the testimony of Christ in us. An unsaved person may wonder, why do I need Christ if this person who says they are saved does that to?

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

Isn’t someone’s eternal life worth considering before we do something?
