Stumbling Blocks

This week, JC teaches from Romans 14:12-17. In these verses, Paul focuses on how we are not to judge others or put stumbling blocks in front of them. Not only do we need to think about external hindrances like eating, drinking, what we watch, etc, but also internal hindrances like pride and envy. There may be things in our lives that we regard as good, but they may be a stumbling block for others. We need to walk in love and recognize those things so we do not do harm. Matthew 16:23, Christ tells us that stumbling blocks come when our focus is on things of man and not things of God.
