Romans 14:12
"So, then every one of us shall give
account of himself to God"
Christians are not to act from mere emotion, but from settled inward convictions that are the result of prayer and study of God's Word. There would be no disagreements if every Christian acted according to their conviction. Someone once said that opinions are what we hold, while convictions hold us. The stronger Christian is not to despise the weaker one for his immaturity; neither is the weaker one to judge his more mature brother. God has received both in Christ; therefore we should receive each other. Our life is to be directed by God, not by our own or other men's ideas or judgement. A mature Christian knows why he does what he does.
"I'm living my own life!" is a statement no Christian ought to make; for we belong to the Lord, whether we live or die. He is the Lord and we must live to please Him. So often the Christian who has questionable practices in his life cannot honestly say that he practices them as "unto the Lord" for in reality, he practices them for his own selfish pleasure and completely ignores the Lord. The Christian who observes a special day as unto the lord will be accepted by the Lord. So my friend, on this day what "Excuses will you have for Almighty God? I pray that you will have none! AMEN
May God Bless You
