A big idea from last night's sermon: The Stumbling Block Principle!
As Christians we are to be people who build other people up in love with our knowledge and not cause other people to stumble in their faith!
When Paul discovered the more mature Christians at Corinth were pushing the less mature Christians (against their conscience) to eat food sacrificed to idols, Paul said this:
Therefore, if what I eat causes my brother to fall into sin, I will never eat meat again, so that I will not cause him to fall. (v13)
How does this transfer to us in the 21st century?
Well - here's a thought: by your behaviour are you building up other people in their faith in Jesus or are you making them stumble? Let's be guided by love for our brother and sister in Christ by how we behave around them!
