Don't be a stumbling block.

We need to watch ourselves very closely as followers of Christ:



Romans 14:13



13 Therefore let us not judge one another anymore, but rather resolve this, not to put a stumbling block or a cause to fall in our brother’s way.



First this verse warns us not to judge others. I have been thinking about this frequently as of late. Why is it so hard for us to keep from judging others? God's Word does tell us to inspect others fruit but not to judge. This is a very fine line when doing this to walk. When we try to correct others we must do it out of love and humbly. God is the judge not us. We must remember that. This verse goes on to say we must not be a stumbling block to others. The way we talk, the way we act, the way we dress, and many other things can be stumbling blocks to others and we must be very careful to live according to the Word of God and not to conform to what society sets as the standards!



So examine your life and make changes where needed!
