Each Sunday I try to take the pastors words from his sermon and put them into my own words. This Sunday I can find no words, but I will try.
I believe Pastor Dan was saying to us that Paul was preaching to the Roman church telling them to welcome the weak in faith into the church, but not to argue with them about their beliefs. One person's faith allows him to eat anything while another person's faith allows him to only eat vegetables. Whatever our faith allows us to eat, we are not to judge others on what they eat. God has accepted all. All will succeed because God has allowed them to succeed. Some think that some days are more important than others, while others think that all days are the same. None of us live for ourselves only. None of us dies for himself only. If we live it is for the Lord that we live, if we die it is for the Lord that we die. Christ died for all, why then do ye pass judgement upon others. Why do you despise your brother? all of us will stand before God to be judged by him. Everyone will give an account for himself. Wow! Is some of us placing judgement on others because, in other words, they are not as good as us? Or maybe because they are not a carbon copy of us. Less money, meaning to some, less succees. Less education, meaning to some, less popularity. Is that the kind of personality God picked when he chose David, the little sheppard boy, to face the giant on the battlefield, then later to become God's favorite king? I don't know about others, but I am going to repent and hopefully become a better Christian. This is the way I received the pastors sermon this morning. I hope I have got it right.
God bless
