Christians live under grace and not under law. We are not bound by food laws nor by a dress code. But neither should we criticize those who choose to follow their consciences in certain matters. We are not required to worship on a specific day nor are we commanded to keep certain feast days, special festivals, or the many ordinances imposed by man; as believers in the age of grace we are free from the bondage of law. As Christians, we need to remember that everything is permissible, but not everything is helpful. Believers are not under law and the things that we do should build up our brothers and sisters in Christ and not be a direct or an indirect criticism of their behaviors. So, we are instructed not to let what we personally regard as good, to be spoken of as evil. We are to be careful that our freedom in this age of grace does not cause a brother or sister in Christ to be upset or offended. Let us therefore in love and grace Be Sensitive To The Needs Of Others, neither compromising the gospel of Christ nor causing our liberty in Christ to be a stumbling block to other brothers and sisters in Christ Therefore do not let what you know is good be spoken of as evil. Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, keep us from trying to maintain church unity at the expense of the truth of the gospel of grace. But also, please keep us from allowing the beautiful freedoms we have, by grace through faith in Christ, to become critical of others whose consciences lead them in a different directions. Help us, therefore, to make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification, for we desire to glorify Your name in all we say and do. In Jesus' name we Pray, AMEN. |
Prayer
We are a growing group of people praying daily for and with others. We were led to start an online ministry to deliver what is needed more now than ever, a place where you can go to easily to submit a prayer request or requests involving others to pray for your needs. The Power of Prayer. Matthew 18:20- For where two or more come together in my name, there I am among them. You are never alone in prayer. The Power Of Numbers Praying.
We ask you to pray for this ministry, for its success in helping others in need of prayer. Archives
