Therefore let us stop passing judgment on one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in the way of a brother or sister. Romans 14:13
Are you a stumbling block for others coming to Christ? Jesus has called us to be his disciples and spread the gospel to all the nations (Mark 18:15) however many times we often push people away from Christ because they don’t fit into our perception of what a Christian should be or look like
We must remember that Jesus came to save the world (John 3:16), everyone who calls upon Jesus shall be saved (Romans 10:16), and though Christ we are all one (Galatians 3:28) So its important for us to set aside our own egos or perceptions of what a Christian should be and let the Holy Spirit guide them to the cross.
We must remember that judgement is not our (Matthew 7:1) when we condemn others we are condemning ourselves. (Luke 6:37) Jesus has been given all power and authority by God (Matthew 28:18) its our job to lead people to Christ, and it’s Christ job to be the ultimate judge.
Does that mean we should be accepting of blasphemy or evil? Absolutely not! The Word of God was given to us for teaching, training, correcting and rebuking (1 Timothy 3:16) Anyone who is filled with the Holy Spirit declares Jesus is Lord (1 Corinthians 12:3) Nobody who is filled with Demonic Spirits declares Jesus is Lord, therefor if a brother or sister is leading people to Christ, don’t be a stumbling block for them or thier ministry. Remember we are all one body of Christ, there is only one God and one Heaven. Love your neighbor as you love yourself and you fulfilled the law of Christ(Galatians 5:14) in Jesus Name Amen
Always an important reminder. Thank you!

Amen ! What an awesome blog and such an important message. I see so much division and judgement within the church & it is heart breaking ! I pray we are reminded that Jesus went to the cross for all and pray we as believers help others to the cross not be the stumbling block in the way.
Jesus paid much too high a price for us to get in the way
God bless you
