Be careful therefore that the exercise of your freedom does not become a stumbling block to the weak.
                                       1 Corinthians 8:9 NIV

Certainly we are free in Christ, free from our original sin, free to worship, free to eat many types of food, and free from the curse of death with the gift of eternal life.  Our freedom does include freedom to speak and to act. 

Scott has recently written about yeast and about unity, those postings are closely related to stumbling blocks, for  infectious yeast and disunity among believers is certainly a stumbling block to many.  We Christians need to focus on what unites us; Christ crucified on the cross for our sin and His resurrection from the dead to win for us our eternal life and victory over death for those who in faith believe.

In our daily life, on our daily walk, consider how we use our freedoms.  Are we using them to point a path for others to the cross, or are we giving others confusing messages?  Are we grumbling, are we displaying actions and attitudes that are not consistent with our new being as believers in Christ.  How do others see us? 

How could a Christian be giving mixed messages about the faith in Christ's work as the only way to eternal life?

What types of activities, actions, and language might confuse another about your Christian faith?

Pray that the Spirit open your eyes to the dark areas in your life.

In Christ,

David P
