Are you a stumbling block ?

We all have things we struggle  with  and even  the strongest  Christian has things they struggle with.

But in life  we have  people  or things in life that are stumbling  blocks , this  is the the topic i want to talk about to day.

Lets  look at Romans 14: 20- 21 : " 20 Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food. All food is clean, but it is wrong for a man to eat anything that causes someone else to stumble. 21 It is better not to eat meat or drink wine or to do anything else that will cause your brother to fall".


In these verses   Paul is talking to the Gentiles about not being a stumbling block  for there Jewish brother's in Christ  because  even there were Jewish brothers who accepted Jesus , they still hold to  law of not eating  anything that  was not kosher .

We can apply this principle to our daily life's  and  we should live out.

 For example , I was addicted to drugs and alcohol ( been sober for 4 yrs. now )  and when Gots saved i had  to get rid of some friends  who were still  living that life style  .  The reason i did that is because they were stumbling blocks  in my recovery  and me being is important. I hope some they will repent and accept Jesus in there heart's. 

We also can be stumbling blocks  also, i know i could be a stumbling block .

For example, i don't  think harry potter is evil or witchcraft but i might have a friend who does or has had trouble with witchcraft, so it would best for me not to  have this friend over  and put on a harry potter movie because would want this friend  to stumble in his walk with Christ.

 so in closing , make sure you are not a stumbling block  for your brothers and sisters in Christ and get rid of the stumbling blocks in you life
