Message summary & scripture references

The Bible is black and white on lots of issues. However, there are many issues (we’ll face in life) that are not directly addressed in the Bible. These are gray areas of Christianity, and they can weaken your Faith if you aren’t careful. Listen to today’s message to learn about this concept.


Romans 14:1-9,13-14,23 AMP

[1] AS FOR the man who is a weak believer, welcome him into your fellowship, but not to criticize his opinions or pass judgment on his scruples or perplex him with discussions.
[2] One man’s faith permits him to believe he may eat anything, while a weaker one limits his eating to vegetables.
[3] Let not him who eats look down on or despise him who abstains, and let not him who abstains criticize and pass judgment on him who eats; for God has accepted and welcomed him.
[5] One man esteems one day as better than another, while another man esteems all days alike sacred. Let everyone be fully convinced (satisfied) in his own mind.
[6] He who observes the day, observes it in honor of the Lord. He also who eats, eats in honor of the Lord, since he gives thanks to God; while he who abstains, abstains in honor of the Lord and gives thanks to God.
[13] Then let us no more criticize and blame and pass judgment on one another, but rather decide and endeavor never to put a stumbling block or an obstacle or a hindrance in the way of a brother.
[14] I know and am convinced (persuaded) as one in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is forbidden as essentially unclean (defiled and unholy in itself). But none the less it is unclean (defiled and unholy) to anyone who thinks it is unclean.
[23] But the man who has doubts (misgivings, an uneasy conscience) about eating, and then eats perhaps because of you, stands condemned before God, because he is not true to his convictions and he does not act from faith. For whatever does not originate and proceed from faith is sin whatever is done without a conviction of its approval by God is sinful.
