February 10, 2009 - Romans 14

It should not matter if you eat meat or vegetables. It should not matter if you see one day as better than the next or if you consider everyday the same. The main message Paul is trying to explain with these images is that we should not judge others Christians as well as other non-Christians according to how their faith leads them. Because God is the king of all kings and can ultimately change their ways in the end if He wants to or not. 

"To his own master he stands or falls. And he will stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand."

It all comes down to God's will and what he wants to do with us. 

Especially for me, since I am put in a leadership position, it is so easy to be disillusioned with the fact that I am more spiritual than.. lets say.. my small group members. I need to realize that this is a pursuit of holiness for all of us because no one can be perfect like Christ. Drop that pride and pick up the Cross. 

Amen.
